Central Park |
This is the site of one Yampol Jewish synagogoue.
This investigation was done by Ruslan Prylypko and this is his report:
|
I was able to establish the exact location of one of the synagogues. It was near a kerosene shop, close to the Dniester River (marked with a red dot in the following map).
I discovered that the synagogue was a tall structure made of stone (presumably limestone).
Overtime it started to deteriorate. Subsequently the building was modified and made a little lower.
For a while there was a warehouse for animal skins. It was very humid there, and because of the humility the building was ruined.
Later, the authorities gave the location to one person for the construction of houses.
Jews asked him to pay them for the land and building but he refused.
Subsequently, having not constructed a single house, he sold the land to another person.
The new owner made payment to the Jewish community and had successfully built a house and lived there.
The Jewish community disassembled the building materials and used them in their households.
Some people said that a small part of the wooden boards left from the synagogue were used by Gipsy people for building the shed that you can see in the picture.
Some wooden boards were burned in the stoves by the neighbors.
One woman said that the wooden parts from the synagogue had some Jewish symbols on them. She remembers that, because her father also used this wood for warming his own house and she saw those symbols personally. |

Near the entrance to the cave, on the street near the Dniester River, opposite the Orthodox Church.
Somewhere on this street was the second synagogue. See map above; the synagogue location indicated by red dot at top. |
