Jewish Funerary Art Jewish cemetery in Sokilets, Ukraine
© ESJF European Jewish Cemeteries Initiative, Photographer: ESJF European Jewish Cemeteries Initiative, 2019
According to ESJF European Jewish Cemeteries Initiative, the exact period of the cemetery’s establishment is unknown. The oldest preserved gravestone relates to the early 19th century so it can be assumed that the cemetery emerged during that period. First, it appears on Russian maps of 1879. Later it was marked on maps of the 1920s and 1939. There are about 300 gravestones. Many gravestones are lying face down or partly buried into the ground.
Date of oldest tombstone: 1807
Date of newest tombstone: 1931
The cemetery is located to the south-east from Sokilets and to the south-west from Zahoryany villages. Go by the Polyova Street in the Zahoryany village till the Christian cemetery. Then turn left and in 20 meters turn right, procced by the dirt road for 270 meters into the wood. Go by this path till the agricultural fields. (There is ESJF plate hanging on the "entrance" but it is better to ask locals).
