Funerary Art Jewish cemetery in Tuchyn, Ukraine
According to ESJF European Jewish Cemeteries Initiative, the exact period of the cemetery’s establishment is unknown. The oldest preserved tombstone dates to the early 20th century so it can be assumed that the cemetery already existed during that period. The cemetery was also mentioned in Yizkor’s memorial book of Tuchyn issued in 1990 and marked on its map. The majority of the cemetery was demolished but a few inscribed tombstone fragments were found on the site. There is one more tombstone near the mass grave, roughly 150 metres from the cemetery site. The only found date og tombstone is 1917.
The cemetery is located at the southern end of the village, on the land of the tractor brigade. Starting on the main road, turn East at the intersection with the road leading to the local Culture House and continue for 230 metres. The cemetery can be found on the right side of the road.
