The Jews of Kiliya Rally in Chernovitz

We publish here two pictures from Ukrainian newspapers that appear in Chernovitz. They show the activity against the fascism of the “Pamiat,” the support for Israel, and the fight to honor the memories of the victims of the Holocaust.

The protest succeeded and received coverage in the press. Two Kiliyans, M. Markuzan and Asher Zusevich, were among the activists.

A demonstration in honor of the victims of the Holocaust. On one of the signs we can read:
“Here the Fascists murdered innocent people, just because they were Jewish!”
I still hear the words ‘March to the grave.’”
“Remember!”

The Number of Kiliyans in Israel

Hebrew text:

There were 2400 Jews in Kiliya. During the tragic Holocaust, 1800 of them were murdered. In the last two pages of this book, we publish pictures showing the development of the Kiliyan “population” in Israel.

Forty to forty-five people came to Palestine (Eretz Israel) before the establishment of the State of Israel. From then until 1975, another 250 people came. From 1975 until today, we can count 750–800 people, including children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.

We hope that the immigration from the Soviet Union will continue, and we are optimistic that there will be a continuity of our community in Israel. Russian text:

After the terrible Holocaust in which 1800 of 2400 Kiliyan Jews were murdered. We present three pages of pictures that show the growth of the “population” of Kiliyans in Israel.

According to our records, 40-45 people immigrated to Palestine before 1945. In August of 1991, we are already 750-800 people, including grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

We hope that the wonderful Aliyah from the USSR will not stop. We will be optimists, knowing that we have created a good and beautiful continuation here.
