Introduction

Die Juden in Unter-Stanestie a/cz., written in German and published by Mercaz Press in Tel Aviv (1965) is one of many Gedankbuch or "Yizkor books", in which an author from a community destroyed by the Holocaust attempts to leave some record of the town concerned. Josef Schapira's admirable work chronicles the richness of Jewish life in Unter-Stanestie, complete with personal anecdotes, folklore, religious conventions and a chronological history culminating in the terrible events as witnessed by the author.

On pages 363-367 there is a Yiddish memorial list for residents of Staneshtie de Zhos and the surrounding area that were martyred between 1940-1945. The author also includes those who perished in Transnistria and Siberia. In most instances, Mr. Schapira did not list the names of wives or children. When possible, he did identify the gender of children killed, and in the case of multiple listings of the same family name, he mentions some attribute to distinguish branches of the same family.

I have attempted to make a proper translation of this Yiddish text. In doing so,I have tried to find family names of the deceased in the anecdotal sections of Schapira's prose, so that the translation will be as accurate as possible. I am also indebted to Lauren Azoulai, who provided a xeroxed copy of the Unter Stanestie Bukowinauer Circle's 1950 Twentieth Anniversary program, with its own memorial list as well as a list of those who survived that facilitated this effort. With Lauren's permission, I will try to get make these lists available to the ROM-SIG as soon as I can.

There are bound to be errors in this effort. Please feel free to contact the ROM-SIG people to correct any innacuracies.

For those interested in the history of the area, Mr. Schapira also makes reference to another book - Geschicte der Juden in der Bukowina (The History of the Jews in Bukovina), Volume I , edited by Hugo Gold, (1958) by Edition "Olamenu" and printed by the Lidor Press (P.O.B. 3002, Tel-Aviv, Israel.). A second volume deals with the periods 1919-1940 and 1940-1952.
