The Streets

Dinovits "Small Jerusalem" - the former Jewish center of town

A street in the old Jewish section of Dunayevtsy. It has changed little since before WW II.

The Cemetery

Four views of the Dinovetz Jewish Cemetery. Most of the headstones in the old cemetery are gone–victims of time and social forces. The new section is active and has tombstones; stones are left on graves and prayers are recited. photos by Ilya Royzner
