~ Luh Cemetery ~

Jewish families that lived in Luh, and possibly other nearby villages, used the Luh cemetery as the final resting place for their loved ones.

The Jewish cemetery is located outside of town, along a dirt road, behind a house. It has a wall built around it and there is a caretaker who
has the key to the door. The cemetery seemed maintained and is visited periodically by descendants.


In the documents section of the "Other" tab, you will find a link to a U.S. Commission Report completed in 2005 that attempted to document
Jewish Cemeteries (and Synagogues and Mass Grave Sites) in Ukraine. This cemetery is not listed as well as many other village cemeteries
of the Zakarpats'ka oblast.
