The Jewish Community in Chernivtsi was the largest Jewish Community in all of Bukovina, in what is now Romania and Ukraine. At its peak in 1941, more than 45 thousand Jews lived in Chernivtsi.
The first documentation of Jews in Chernivtsi (then Cernăuți in Romanian) comes from the year 1408, when Alexander I of Moldavia allowed Jews to trade in the city.[1] In 1498, Moldavia became a Satellite state of the Ottoman Empire. Under the Moldavian-Ottoman rule, the life of the Jews in the area knew many changes, for good and for bad.
