Funerary Art Jewish cemetery in Novodarivka, Ukraine
According to ESJF European Jewish Cemeteries Initiative, the exact period of the cemetery's establishment is unknown. Given that the oldest preserved tombstone dates to the first half of the 20th century, it can be gathered the cemetery was founded in that era. It cannot be found marked on old maps of the region. The cemetery was located by the river, now the river has dried up. The majority of the cemetery was plowed about 7 years ago. Apparently, the territory of the cemetery was divided into several parts. There are several gravestones with inscriptions. There are about 10 gravestones. The gravestones have sunk into the ground or been destroyed. The only gravestone with legible inscription is dated 1934.
To reach the cemetery, start from the southeastern entrance to the village of Novodarivka. Turn left at the first house and then drive 905m west, turn right onto a dirt road and continue for 355m, until you come across a ploughed field. This is a destroyed part of the cemetery. To the north, beyond the field, there is derelict land, where the cemetery has been preserved.
