  Holocaust memorial plaque at the Torah ark in the Great Synagogue in Sataniv, Ukraine, 2000s

© Jewish Galicia and Bukovina N.P.O., http://jgaliciabukovina.net, Photographer: Levin, Vladimir, 2010

Who is commemorated?

Jews of Sataniv, who were killed during the Holocaust, the families of Blefer (?) and Sheiner

Description

Located on one of the volute brackets of the synagogue's ark, this small, rectangular, metal plaque is attached via four screws - one in each corner. The plaque was warped to conform to the bracket's rounded shape.

The plaque itself contains two Hebrew inscriptions in black script - dedications to Holocaust Victims. Its only decoration is a thin border around the text, a thin black line.

Inscription

In Hebrew:

לזכר קדושי קהילת
יהודי סטנוב
שניספו בשואה

לזכר משפחות
בלפר שיינר
שניספו בשואה

Translation: In memory of martyrs of the community of Sataniv that perished during the Holocaust // In memory of the families Blefer (?) and Sheiner that perished during the Holocaust.

Commissioned by

Descendants of Blefers (?) and Sheiners
