Jewish Funerary Art  Old Jewish cemetery in Rohatyn (Rogatin), Ukraine

According to ESJF European Jewish Cemeteries Initiative, the exact period of the cemetery’s establishment is unknown. The oldest gravestone relates to the mid-19th century. The memorial on the site says that the cemetery is estimated to be 500 years old, so it can be assumed that the cemetery emerged during that period. First, it appears on cadastral maps of 1846.

The cemetery was mostly demolished. The preserved gravestones and fragments are stored in the northern and eastern parts of the cemetery. The cemetery is surrounded by a metal fence on a concrete foundation 1.5 meters high. 

Date of the oldest tombstone: 1852

Date of the latest tombstone: 1927
