The Jewish Cemetery

The entrance to the Jewish cemetery in Shklov has a very unusual construction, with a staircase leading into the cemetery area.   While the walls of the staircase have suffered over the years, and the stairs are currently in a dilapidated state, the structure is still visible and while ascending the staircase hints remain of the grandeur that it once had in centuries gone by.

Monument Marking the Mass Grave of WWII Victims

In the cemetery stands a monument to the Jews killed in WWII   Though originally shot in an open killing fields and buried on that site in mass graves, after the war, in 1955, these mass graves were exhumed and the bodies of those shot were taken to the Jewish cemetery in Rizhkevich.   The bodies were buried in common graves at the spot where the monument stands.
