The recent completion of fences at the Jewish cemeteries in Irlyava and Storozhnytsya in the Uzhhorod district marks the end of ESJF’s 2017 projects in Transcarpathia. In this region alone, 10 construction projects were completed this year, bringing the number of finished Transcarpathian projects to 39 since we commenced work in the region in 2015. The region has a very high density of Jewish burial sites, perhaps one of the highest in the world, with many more projects planned for next year.

ESJF’s 2017 projects are still ongoing in the Ivano-Frankivsk, Vinnytsa, and Chernivtsi regions.
