~ Zaluzhzhia Cemetery ~

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

The Jewish cemetery is located in the mountain—at the edge of the village—hidden by trees, brush, etc.

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.
