Jewish Funerary Art New Jewish cemetery in Tiraspol, Moldova
The report "Jewish Historic Monuments and Sites in Moldova," published by The United States Commission for the Preservation of America's Heritage Abroad in 2010, states:
"The cemetery contains around 2,000 gravestones from the 19th and 20th centuries. There are also monuments to the victims of the Holocaust and to the repressions that took place between 1937 and 1938. The cemetery is surrounded by a broken masonry wall. A restoration project was carried out in 2001, but in March 2004, more than 70 tombstones were vandalized. Some were smashed and anti-Semitic slogans and swastikas were painted on others. The cemetery is not in use and has no regular caretaker."
