Djurin ghetto
Djurin was a ghetto established in 1941 in the newly created Romanian province of Transnistria in Sargorod Raion in today's village of Juryn . Before the occupation by the German and Romanian armies, 1,000 Jews lived in the place. After the establishment of the ghetto, around 3,800 Jews, mainly from southern Bukovina , were added. The total of 4,800 Jews were only monitored by a Romanian gendarme, so that the ghetto residents were in fact left to their own devices. Willi Ahrem , the senior squad leader of the forced labor camp in Nemirow , Ukraine , smuggled several Jews into this ghetto and provided them with food and clothing. He brokered money transfers from relatives to them through the Bucharest Jewish community . Before a possible denunciation, he managed to get transferred to Germany in 1943. On June 15, 1965, he was honored by the Yad Vashem memorial as "Righteous Among the Nations" for his volunteer work.
