Kopaigorod


Cemeteries

If you are able to translate any of the gravestones, please contact Deborah.



When I visited Kopaigorod in 1992, there were 3 cemeteries. The old one was overgrown with trees and weeds, it's headstones leaning or fallen down. The new one had fresh gravestones and metal fences. There was also a place in the forest commemorating the mass grave of the thousands of Jews murdered during WWII.
