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.
-
I have kept the lists in the order in which they appear in the Yiddish
manuscript - so the names are not in alphabetical order, but they do
correspond to the Hebrew aleph-bet. I have noted what I believe are
typographical errors or innacuracies as well.
-
There are several suburban towns/cities also mentioned at the end of the
listing for those who perished from Stanestie. Sam Elpern assisted in
giving possible identification to these towns.These are Velukah, Kalnivitz,
Barbivitz, Draczynetz and Kostenitz (possibly Kostestie). I did find
Draczynetz and cross-referenced in the text, so it is the only town whose
identity I can be certain of. Therefore I have included several possible
names for each of these stetlach.
-
The author has also published a list of Stanestier ("Die Stanestier in
Israel", p. 287-289) who reside in Israel, as well as a companion list of
survivors ("Die Stanestier in Weiten Welt", p. 294-296) that live in the
diaspora.
-
Page 363 has a reproduction of a memorial tablet dedicated on Mount Zion.
A photo of those attending the dedication of the memorial appears on page
360 (no date given) Rabbi Zindel Hager's address at the dedication ceremony
is printed in Hebrew on pages 360-362.
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.
