Jewish Funerary Art Jewish cemetery in Sarata, Ukraine
According to ESJF European Jewish Cemeteries Initiative, there is almost no information on the Jewish cemetery of Sarata. It is marked on the Yizkor book memory map of Sarata, which shows the town’s interwar location. The cemetery was ruined, presumably during the post-war Soviet period. According to data from the Jewish Preservation Committee expedition of 1994, the last burial at this cemetery took place in 1950. Now the territory is a wasteland adjacent to private housing and gardens, with remaining gravestones and gravestone bases. Locals say that the cemetery used to include territory that today is used for houses and gardens. There are 12 gravestones. The gravestones and their bases have been moved from their places and most are broken. There are no inscriptions preserved on them. The post-WWII Jewish population of Sarata used the municipal cemetery.
