Jewish Funerary Art Jewish cemetery in Shpola, Ukraine
According to ESJF European Jewish Cemeteries Initiative, the exact period of the cemetery’s establishment is unknown. However, as it appears on Russian maps as far back as the 1860s, it was most likely founded in the mid 19th century. It can also be found marked on later maps, from 1941. The oldest preserved tombstone dates to the first half of the 20th century.
The older section of the cemetery is severely overgrown and partially demolished. The southwestern section, which represents the majority of the site, has been appropriated for agricultural use. One of the tombstones near the ohel was removed from its proper place. There is a Christian cemetery nearby.
There are about 200 gravestones. Most of the gravestones were buried in a pit on the cemetery site.
Date of the oldest tombstone: 1922
Date of the latest tombstone: 2010
