International Jewish Cemetery Research Competition, Derazhnia Jewish cemetery, Ukraine

The Derazhnia Jewish cemetery in Ukraine’s Khmelnytskyi region was fenced in 2023.

Tetiana Shevchuk, a methodologist at the House of Children and Youth Creativity of the Derazhnia City Council, worked on a project about the cemetery together with members of the Young Erudite Club: Sofiia Tokar, Yelyzaveta Kapeliushna, and Vladyslava Fochuk.

For the competition, the team created a video documentary and a detailed written report about the Jewish community of Derazhnia and its cemetery.
