Background

More than 18,000 Jews were murdered in the autumn of 1941 in Dubossary, Moldavian SSR. The victims were from many small and large places in Moldova and Ukraine. With efforts from the Dubossary Jewish Community and its director Ozias Ukshteyn, many families were recognized and now listed here. There is a large "Memorial of Victims of Fascists" erected at the place of Mass Graves, and the Jewish Community of Dubossary and Moldova/Transnistria are continuing their efforts to memorize people killed in Dubossary. No one should be forgotten.

Dubossary ("Дубоссары" in Russian), is called דובאָסאַר "Dubasar" in Yiddish. Today it is in eastern Moldova, called Дубэсарь "Dubăsari". It is located on the Dniester River, about 24 miles NE of the Moldovan capital Chişinău (Kishinev).
