Mordechai FUCHS set up the foundations of the community in Oleksandrivka. It was he who arranged the building of the synagogue, mikva and the Jewish cemetery. He was a learned person and a follower of the Rabbi's from Sighet. The villagers would consult him regarding halachic matters (Jewish Laws).

Mordechai FUCHS died in 1896 and is buried in Oleksandrivka. He had 3 sons: Eizek Meir FUCHS who succeeded his father by taking care of the communities needs, Moshe Yakov FUCHS and Shulom FUCHS all who lived in Oleksandrivka and are buried there. Mordechai FUCHS also had 4 daughters.

~ Oleksandrivka Cemetery ~

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

The Jewish cemetery is located outside of town, on the mountainside. It is not maintained. Also, there is a Mass Grave not far from the village.

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.
