Historical overview

There is an urgent need for a fence, due to the high risk of forestation and devastation. Security and overgrown vegetation are serious threats.

There were several clean-up actions in the cemetery in order to make the stones at least visible and to enable visitation to the cemetery. These sessions were carried out by the Magurych group and the Tikkun project.
