The Museum of History and Culture of the Jews of Bukovyna was opened in Chernivtsi in the former Jewish People's House (now the Central City Palace of Culture) on the occasion of the 600th anniversary of the Day of the first written mention of Chernivtsi, in October 2008.
The museum is dedicated to an amazing and still little-studied phenomenon -
the phenomenon of Bukovinian Jewry in the period from the end of the eighteenth century to the 40s of the twentieth century.
Here, in Bukovina, there was no strip of settlement.
Here the Jews achieved real equality of rights with the representatives of other nations.
Here was a rare situation not only for those years of tolerance, tolerance,
mutual respect and cooperation of people of different nationalities and religions.
Jewish culture flourished here, influencing the cultures of other peoples and perceiving their influence.
There was a tense and bright religious life and no less bright and interesting secular life.
