Czernowitz Ghetto of 1941 in 08:22 Minutes, 14,591 Meters, 200 Photos!

One of my main concerns during my recent visit to Czernowitz, was the GPS tracking, mapping and measuring of the Czernowitz Ghetto, combined with a photo documentation. In fact, this action took me three days for a distance of 14,591 meters, compiled to a video slide show of 08:22 minutes. 200 photos, giving a vague idea of bygone days, accompanied with the song "Shtetls" by John Zorn from his album Filmworks XX Scholem Aleichem.



The GPS tracking, mapping and measuring is based on Corneliu Calotescu's order and its cartographic implementation. The order contains a firing order concerning Jews, who will not be in the Czernowitz Ghetto 6 PM. Please click on the pictures/maps below to enlarge.




The photos (+ tracking files) will be uploaded to Ehpes and to Google Earth soon. There is a vast number of publications related to the Czernowitz Ghetto. Please find below a selection of just a few additional links and feel free to extend this listing by your suggestions and comments:
