SADGURA II:
     Sadgura, Chernivtsi Oblast, Ukraine, located at 48 20/25 56 is about 6 km N of Chernitvtsi. The 1941 town population was 2,415 with 1,488 Jews but currently, none. The town was the home of the Sadgura Rabbis who are buried in the cemetery. The latest burial I saw was 1934 but I think there were others from just before WWII. The unlandmarked cemetery is a short distance from the congregation that used it. The isolated urban flat land with no sign or marker is reached on a public road across from homes. The site is open to all with no fence, wall, or gate. Many gravestones are visible in original location with few toppled or broken. Some stones may have been removed. Vegetation is not a problem because grazing goats and horses keep vegetation down. The cemetery is divided into women and men. The oldest tombstones date from the 19th century. The granite, finely-smoothed stones are inscribed in Yiddish and German. No known mass graves. Adjacent properties are grazing areas with a few children playing. The area of the cemetery appears to be the same size as before WWII. The site is visited rarely. The Jewish guide in Chernivtsi told me nothing Jewish remained in Sadgura and that I was wasting my time but a local Christian took me to the cemetery and synagogue. The cemetery was not vandalized. No care or maintenance. Within the limits of the cemetery is an ohel. There is an enclosed area in which the Sadgura rabbis and families are buried.
     Irene Silfin, 15 Audley Clr., Plainview, NY 11803. 516-935-8224 completed this survey on 15 October 1997 after a visit to the site in July 1995. No documentation was used. She spoke with the Ukrainian taxi driver, who found the cemetery and synagogue with no problem.

SATINOV:
"The Jewish Cemetery in Satanov was inspected and documented by two expeditions in the years 1991 and 1992. The cemetery is situated upon a hill, above the Zbruch River, and its dimensions are 1200 m x 300 with about 3000 tombstones in situ. There are about 300 carved gravestones and steles from the 16th to the first half of the 19th century in the old section. The earliest gravestone dates from the 1554.
   "There are fifteen gravestones from the 16th century, and twenty-seven gravestones from the 17th century. The inscriptions yield information on various events in the shtetl's life, on migrations, etc. Decorated gravestones of the 18th century deserve special attention because of their being unequaled in the variety of their motifs, stylistic solutions and artistic performance. In Satanov, most gravestones, which date from the end of 17th-19th centuries, are preserved. The development of artistic tendencies and appearance of a unique stone carving school can be traced. The iconography of motifs is extensive and varied.
   "The picturesque environs of Satanov are wood-covered, with low mountains rising just after the settlement. There is a well-appointed spa just three kilometers from Satanov. Thus, the site could become a site of international tourism. Unfortunately, residential building here was much more poorly preserved. However, if desired, it is possible to reconstruct a number of half-ruined Jewish houses or to transfer a number of Jewish houses from nearby shtetls (the town plan of the shtetl has remained) and so recreate here a memorial area of the Podolia shtetl."
