  Funerary Art  Jewish cemetery in Velykyi Zhvanchyk, Ukraine

According to ESJF European Jewish Cemeteries Initiative, the exact period of the cemetery’s establishment is unknown. But since it appears on Russian and Polish maps of the beginning of the 20th century, it can be assumed that the cemetery already existed during that period. According to the 1995 IAJGS expedition, the oldest preserved gravestone relates to the mid 19th century, but it was not detected by ESJF surveyors team in 2019. The cemetery site is used for cattle grazing. There are one gravestone and some fragments without inscriptions on the site. 

To reach the cemetery, proceed on Lipinska street to the crossroads with Prysky street. Turn onto Prysky street and proceed for 700 metres. The cemetery is located on the left of the road.
