Grigoriopol Jewish Cemetery Report by Jeffrey D. Wexler

The cemetery is mentioned in the report Jewish Heritage Sites and Monuments in Moldova published by United States Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad 2010

Grigoriopol Jewish Cemetery

"The cemetery is located in Krasnogorka, in the northern part of Grigoriopol. It contains about 100 stones, as well as a monument to the victims of the Holocaust and Jewish soldiers. The area is protected by a fence with a gate. A nearby housing development has encroached upon the cemetery. The cemetery does not have a regular caretaker, but it is occasionally cleaned by locals. The vegetation overgrowth is only a seasonal problem which prevents access to some of the graves."
