  Murder place in Climăuții de Jos, Moldova

© Stuart Saffer, Photographer: Tepper, Yigal, 2003

The report "Jewish Historic Monuments and Sites in Moldova" published by The United States Commission for the Preservation of America's Heritage Abroad in 2010 states:

"After the village of Klimautsi was seized in July 1941, the Jews of the village and of the nearby districts of Brichani and Edinets were imprisoned in two buildings. According to eyewitnesses, they were held there for a couple of days and then beaten to death on the outskirts of the village. Local residents were then forced to dig a mass grave for them.

An American journalist built a monument to the 70 Jews in the early 1990s, but it has since become neglected. It has fallen down and many of its plaques are broken. It sits in an abandoned field, covered in vegetation. "
