Funerary Art Jewish Cemetery in Lysets, Ukraine
The cemetery in Lysets was documented by the project Jewish Galicia and Bukovina in 2010. See also the website of the Jewish Galicia and Bukovina (http://jgaliciabukovina.net/119605/cemetery/lysiec-cemetery).
According to ESJF European Jewish Cemeteries Initiative, the exact period of the cemetery’s establishment is unknown. According to the VAAD database, the oldest gravestone relates to the mid-18th century. The oldest gravestone found by ESJF expedition relates to the late 18th century, so it can be assumed that the cemetery emerged during that period. First, it appears on the Third military survey of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the 1880s. The cemetery site is surrounded by fences of the bordering private houses. There are about 200 gravestones.
Date of the oldest tombstone: 1793
