~ Sokyrnytsia Cemetery ~

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

The Jewish cemetery is located outside of town. It has a gate and a wall built around it.

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 listed in the Zakarpats'ka oblast.
