Jewish Funerary Art Jewish cemetery in Rozhyshche, Ukraine
According to ESJF European Jewish Cemeteries Initiative, the cemetery was founded presumably in the late 18th or early 19th century. According to Holocaust historian A. Kruglov, around 400 Jews were shot at the cemetery in August 1942. After WWII, part of the cemetery territory was destroyed during the construction of a brick factory. In 2000, a metal fence around the cemetery was built by the Rozhyshche-Israel Landsmannschaft. The cemetery is partially fenced. Its western and south-western sides are surrounded by an old metal fence, its northern and eastern sides are surrounded an old metal mesh fence. Its southern part is not fenced. There are 110 gravestones. The gravestones that are preserved are located near the gate.
