Jewish Funerary Art  New Jewish cemetery in Korostyshiv, Ukraine

According to ESJF European Jewish Cemeteries Initiative, the exact period of the cemetery’s establishment is unknown. The cemetery was established presumably no later than the late 19th century, as the earliest preserved tombstone dates to 1892. The expedition team could not determine if the earliest preserved tombstone was brought from the Old Korostyshiv Jewish cemetery however. The cemetery is marked on the Russian map of 1931 and on the German map of 1922.

The cemetery is fenced, on the front and the sides there is a concrete fence 1.7m high, there is also an adjacent fence belonging to private houses. The rear is not fenced, there is a precipice. There is a pre-burial building. There are about 500 graves. It was not possible to determine exactly where the transferred graves from the old cemetery were, all the graves were placed randomly along the perimeter.
