List of Holocaust Victims
from Gura Humorului

Introduction

By J. Silverbush

On October 10, 1941, on one day, 2945 Jews, men, women and children were sent from Gura Humorului to Transnistria. Most were Gura Humorului natives and some had been called in from surrounding villages. Hunger, cold, stress and disease caused most of them to lose their lives in Transnistria. Only 100 returned in the Spring of 1944 to their destroyed and plundered home city.

In September 1947 the first aliya of 140 people left from Gura Humorului to Eretz Israel by way of Cypress. A second aliya followed on December 23, 1947 with 160 people.

In the years 1948-1951, almost all the Jews remaining in Gura Humorului emigrated to Israel. Only a few remained behind.

The information presented on this site is from pages 203 to 220 of the English edition of the book, "Gura Humora, a Small Town in Southern Bukovina." The book was published by the Association of Former Residents of Gura Humora and Environs. The Association, based in Israel, has a convention every two years. It renovated the Jewish cemetery in Gura Humorului and is now restoring the only remaining synagogue. It also tries to help needy members of the community in Israel and abroad. The president of the society, Jacob Jurgrau, who graciously donated the translation of this book to be posted to JewishGen, can be reached at:

Residents of Gura-Humora and environs deceased in the Shoah

In the pages that follow we are remembering those of our town Gura Humora and its environs (Ostra, Ilisesti, Arbore, Bucsoia, Vama, Valisca, Vatra-Moldovitei, Moild, Frasin, Poiana, Frumosul, Capu-Campului, Capu-Codrului, Comanesti, Rus-Moldovita, Rus-Favaul, Stulpicani) who perished in the Shoah, drowned aboard the Struma, were murdered during the pogrom in Iasi, and fell on the defense of Israel. We have tried with all our might to be accurate in our recording. Should we have failed in our lofty goal of accurancy, we beg forgiveness from the departed. It was certainly unintentional. Lists were originally prepared by Shlomo ben Menachem Ovadya Apter (Most of the names were taken from the appendix to an unpublished book of Shlomo Wininger about Gura-Humora).

Yizkor

May the Almighty remember the souls of former residents of Gura Humora and environs who died at the hands of the German Nazis and their Romanian, Ukrainian and Russian henchmen; and those who as a result of inhuman antisemitic actions perished of starvation, disease and persecution in the Transnistria exile and elswhere. Earth, cover not their blood! May they rest in peace.
