Jewish Funerary Art  Jewish Cemetery in Perehinske, Ukraine

According to ESJF European Jewish Cemeteries Initiative, the exact period of the cemetery’s establishment is unknown. First, it appears on Polish maps of 1939. The oldest preserved gravestone relates to the mid-19th century, so it can be assumed that the cemetery already existed during that period.

Three sides of the cemetery are surrounded by an old metal mesh fence of one-metre height, and the western side is surrounded by remnants of a wooden fence. There are 29 gravestones. Date of the oldest tombstone: 1864. Many old gravestones are lying face down. Presumably, there are remnants of a stone table from a beit-tahara.
