UKRAINE (JTA) – The remains of 286 Jews who were murdered during the Holocaust were found in two basements in a town in southwest Ukraine.

The remains, mostly women and children, will be buried in a mass grave in the ancient Jewish cemetery in Sataniv, Ynet reported.
The town had an organized Jewish community for about 500 years before the Nazis captured it in 1941 and began systematically killing its Jews, according to the Yad Vashem website.
On May 15, 1942, Nazi troops and Ukrainian military police locked the 286 Jews in the cellars and suffocated them.
After World War II, the bodies were left in place in the cellars with a sign indicating that they were Nazi victims. The ruined house above them eventually covered the cellars with a heap of rubble and an outdoor market operated over the area for many years, according Ynet.
Rabbi Alexander Feingold, of the Khmelnytsky and Ternopil districts in Ukraine, told Ynet that his community waged a six-year legal battle with the property owner to search the cellars. Though the community lost in the courts, it eventually reached an agreement with the landowner, according to the report. Some of the bodies were discovered in 2019, and the rest were found about two weeks ago.
Feingold said a park will be established in memory of the victims near the site of the massacre.
BDE more neshomers to add to those killed but the Ukraine nazi murders
And we go there Nd add to there economy yearly
BD”E
And thank you for the Kiddush Hashem of Reb Alexander Feingold.
When I was young I was taught of the evil Khmelnytsky and what he did, I see the behavior ran in the Ukrainian blood. My Parents, AH, as war survivors always told me that the Germans killed on command and the Ukrainians just killed for joy.
BSD
I wonder how many similar unfoubd places are there out in the Ukraine?
YMSH the ukrainians
The German magazine der Spiegel once said that without the helpers, western-Ukrainians, Croatians, Lithuanians and Latvian hitler ysh would have not been able to murder so many yidden
BDE.
What a horrific finding. I am speechless!!
Just wondering out loud, why we don’t bring these great NESHOMOS THAT WERE KILLED AL KIDUSH HASHEM to Eretz Yisrael and let them have a KEVURA in Eretz Yisrael.
Why leave them in the soaked blood earth of Ukraine.
And I don’t believe it’s about money. I am sure that we can raise the money over night!!!!
Just a question. I have no idea what is going on in Ukraine, thats why I am asking the question.
The nazis and ukrainian murderers were FASCIST Rightists. Just like the maga crew. Today Wslmart banned maga shoppers wearing nazi swastika face masks and trump shirts. GOOGLE IT or see Drudge.
In order to seeit in graphics click on program in lviv on google and you will see what good Christians can do. Even in Buchenwald they attacked jews but were stopped bypolitical priosners. IT IS A FAILURE OF CHRISTIANITY.
Sure go to Ukraine for yom tovim. Givethem more Jewish. money. Europe is one big Jewish graveyard. Cohabit should be assured from ever setting foot anywhere on that continent. My Zaidy said the exact same thing about the Ukrainians. Just savage beasts
The only thing that Stalin YM’S did that gave me some nachas, is 1. kill lots of Germans after Stalin’s little pact with Hitler served its purpose; and 2. Starve all the Ukrainians & Nationalize (take away their land for Mother Russia & ship their wheat to Russia.
The biggest slap in the face of these vile anti-semites is the fact that the incumbent prime minister is Jewish!!
He is of eastern ukrain but western Ukraine should be blown to smithereens
Again holocaust victims .
We never seem to be able to stop agonizing over it.
For some Jews it has, unfortunately (for lack of true Torah centered Jewish identity), become an identity badge.
There is one huge problem here; the holocaust is always treated as a Jewish issue.
It is not!
It is a Christian issue!
Yes, I know, six million innocent men women and children (including members of my family) were brutally murdered in cold blood.
But that is not the real issue.
The real issue is that each and every one of these inhuman murderers was a Christian.
Born and baptized as a Christian, educated in a Christian educational system, brought up in a Christian society. Almost all denominations were represented. And in those days, most people took their Christianity seriously.
Instead of remembering the victims we should be asking what it is about Christianity that turned so many normal human beings into vicious animals.
If we really want it to happen “never again” we should concern ourselves with what made it happen in the first place.
