In reply to Dora Grossman. I’ve been Chernivtsi and researched a lot, there were over 50 synagogues, only 2 I think are still active…

Hello, my name is Carol Cherich. My paternal grandmother, Ewa Kitt was born in Galicia and came to the US in 1915 alone. She arrived in E.Berlin and her sister was left behind and when the walls were built after WW11, they lost contact with one another. Is Kitt a common last name or abbreviation.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Do you mean Czernowitz? I was there once but many years ago and didn’t see the synagogue there. Have you checked out this website? http://czernowitz.ehpes.com/

My mother was the sole survivor in her family. She was from the town of Kuty, once Poland, now Ukraine. I believe her mother and other family members were burned in the synagogue in town. Have you ever encountered the town of Kuty and does anything, especially a synagogue still remain there.

My father’s family was from Cznovitz, Romania, now Ukraine. Have you ever been to this town and seen a synagogue there?

I have little information on my family and my parents are deceased. Any information would be helpful as a place to begin to search for my grandparents, aunts, uncles.

In reply to Maria.

I don’t know of them being available to purchase, unfortunately. I also would love to have reproductions of these!
As for high quality versions of the images – the highest quality I have is quite small. In printed form probably just large enough for a postcard.

Wow, these are so beautiful! Do you know if possible to purchase prints of these anywhere? Or would it be easy for you to upload a high quality version of the images? I’d love to hang some of these in my home!

Also, thanks for these blog posts. I always learn something new and interesting!
