Chisinau Off The Beaten Path: 15 reviews and 27 photos
In the late 19th century, especially due to growing anti-semitic sentiment in Russia and Poland and better economic conditions, many Jews chose to settle in Chiºinãu, so in the year 1900 43% of the population of Chiºinãu was Jewish. Today, about 20,000 Jews live in Chisinau (Kishinev), 2,500-3,000 in and around the city of Beltsy, and more than 2,000 in Tiraspol (the capital of Transnistria). Substantial communities also exist in Bender, Soroky, Rybnitsa and Orgei, with smaller communities in at least 45 villages across Moldova. About 1,5% of the Moldova's populations are Jews.
Interesting history of Jews in Moldova below. The Monument commemorates people from the Chisinau's Ghetto.
