Jewish Funerary Art Jewish Cemetery in Nisporeni, 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 occupies an area of approximately 20,000 square meters with more than 100 gravestones still visible, with fewer than 25% toppled or broken. The oldest gravestones on the cemetery are datable from the second half of the 19th century. The cemetery is surrounded by a broken fence and a row of bushes. There is no permanent caretaker, and no maintenance or restoration work has been done in recent years. The remaining three Jews in the town do not have the means to tend the site. The vegetation overgrowth is a serious threat to the graves."
