  Funerary Art  Site of the Old Jewish cemetery in Berezne, Ukraine

According to ESJF European Jewish Cemeteries Initiative, the period of establishment of the Old Jewish cemetery of Berezne is unknown. In 1870s the New cemetery already existed, which means that Old cemetery could be closed at that time. The Old cemetery appears on the detailed Polish map of 1936. Presumably it existed until WWII and was demolished during the war or after that. The cemetery site is now occupied by private housing and industrial buildings. No tombstones preserved. One stone was found on the shore, the other in the water. It is possible they are tombstones, but this is unconfirmed. The cemetery site is located around 125 metres to the South of the “Bereznivskyi Raionnyi Tsentr Pmd” sanitation station, on the banks of the reservoir.
