Jewish Funerary Art  Site of the Jewish cemetery in Boremel, Ukraine

According to ESJF European Jewish Cemeteries Initiative, the exact period of the cemetery’s establishment is unknown. However, since it appears on Russian maps from the 1880s it can be assumed the cemetery was founded in the late 19th century. According to locals, the cemetery was demolished after the war. The eastern section of the cemetery site is now occupied by private houses, while its western section is used for private gardening. Six preserved tombstone fragments were found piled in the garden of a neighbouring house. The tombstones, constructed from concrete, are all broken. Only one retains part of its former inscription. The cemetery site can be found South-West of Boremel Hills hotel, on the opposite side of the street.
