A new year and a new museum season has started for the Museum of the History and Culture of the
Bukovinian Jews. We are going to realize a lot of new interesting ideas and projects to enrich

The year 2011 is rich in anniversaries of significant events in the history of the Bukovinian Jews.
We would like to mention here the following dates:
- The 120th anniversary (December 1891) of the foundation of
