1.TWO GROUNDS, AND THE NEWER ONE IS THE ONE TO WALK. It is at the corner of Hrushevskoho and Hoholya, about a hundred and seventy-five matzevos on two-thirds of a hectare, opened in the early nineteen-hundreds. The old ground goes back to 1510 and the Germans destroyed it; roughly ten stones are left of it.
2.It is fenced. ESJF put a stone and metal perimeter round the newer ground in 2018 and a bilingual sign on it in 2022, and the municipality keeps the vegetation down — so it is walkable rather than a thicket, which in this part of Ukraine cannot be assumed.
3.EVERY ONE OF THE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-FIVE STONES HAS BEEN READ AND PUBLISHED — photographed, transcribed in Hebrew and translated, in a monograph, with a digital memory map giving what is known of each person. If you are looking for a particular kever here, it can be found before you travel rather than hunted for on the day.
4.The oldest matzevos anybody recorded in the town, cut with Polish eagles, were dated 1756 and 1790. Those belonged to the old ground and are not among what stands today.
