I was traveling twice to Ukraine during this year’s summer – once in June with my friend Sylvia de Swaan, once in July to support the volunteers of SVIT Ukraine in their work in the Jewish cemetery of Chernivtsi (Czernowitz). It took an unusually long time to develop the black and white films of these two months, to scan them, make a selection and finally work them over. Now this has been completed, and here is a first selection.
Kuty (Galicia) – Jewish cemetery
Chernivtsi (Czernowitz) – former synagogue
Mohyliv-Podilskyi (Podolia) – Jewish cemetery
Cariera de Piatra – former territory of Romanian and Soviet concentration camp

Chernivtsi in Podolia – abandoned Jewish home
