Ustechko, Ukraine, also known as Uścieczko, Us'tsechko, Usechko.
Overview
If one visits Ustechko to learn about current Jewish life, heritage, and experience, one will likely be disappointed. There are no Jewish people currently living in either location and few remnants of pre-Holocaust Jewish life.
The scenic town sits nestled along the Dniester River with the two main roads running roughly parallel to the river. There are numerous old homes from the Hapsburg era that might have been in the town when the author's Wenkert relatives were likely to have lived..
"After church let out we talked with some people who were able to confirm Svetlana's suspicions that Jewish homes were once near the church (the market center of town). Unfortunately, little remained. A small wooded area devoid of buildings was identified as an area that once had Jewish homes and businesses. We were told that this house across the street had been sold in 1947 by a Jewish family. It is currently being renovated. A few doors down, an uninhabited former Jewish home was for sale." 
"The Germans burned the synagogue to the ground during the War, but we saw its former location. The homeowner said that they had chosen not to build their home on the spot, but rather kept it for potato cultivation.
We sought the cemetery and were directed to an area on the far west side of the village overlooking the Dniester River. If there were any stones, they are under dense vegetation. We did not see any remnants. We were told that the cemetery was under the bushes on the right side of this photo".
Thanks to the member of extrayad for the report and photos.
