The Old Jewish cemetery in Yampol over the Dniester.

Near Yampol, on the road to the village there are two thresholds for the Jewish cemetery. On the bank of the Dniester River on the way to the ferry - the old cemetery with hundreds of carved grave stelae XVIII - XIX centuries. Many of the stelae are made of local pink sandstone with semi-circular end of the majority, there are also other shapes of the stele, including the completion of the form of an oak leaf. Most of the reliefs are simple in concept and execution, they are the ornament of rosettes, geometric or floral design. Some steles differ circular arrangement of lines epitaphs.

During the war, opposite the old Jewish cemetery was the concentration area for Jews.
In Yampol, Nazis were represented by Romanian troops who were guarding the area.
Ruslan's great-grandmother told his mother that the road to Yampol was a large enclosed grounds, where the Jews were forced to live. When Ukrainians went to the market outside of this zone, they threw the Jews of bread and food over the fence to help feed the Jewish children and the elderly. (Ruslan provided many of these photos).
