Makhnovka

(MACH-nif-ka)

The burial plot at Path 37, gate EL-6, is entered through this gate. The inscription on the threshold stone says "Chevra Anshei Machnovker Unt. V." (benevolent society of the brotherhood of the people of Makhnovka). The inscription on the gate itself says the same thing in Yiddish.
