Jewish Funerary Art Jewish cemetery in Sosnytsia, Ukraine
According to ESJF European Jewish Cemeteries Initiative, the exact period of the cemetery’s establishment is unknown. The oldest tombstone dates from the early 20th century. It first appears on a Russian map from the second half of the 19th century and, later, on another from 1939. There is a low metal fence on the cemetery's front and southern sides. The cemetery's older section is severely overgrown with trees and bushes. Many of the tombstones have been damaged by the dense vegetation. The newer section is clear and well-maintained.
