General site condition
Abandoned territory with destroyed buildings. Overgrown with grass and bushes. Locals and a neighbour stated that the burials were carried out preUSSR. Later this private territory was bought by the Jewish community. The woman does not remember the exact number of gravestones. She stated that the burials were vandalized in order to find valuables; the majority of the graves had been dug up when she came to live in the settlement. Since then, there have been attempts of vandalism, and several more gravestones were destroyed.
