Jewish cemetery (Kollektornaya St.)

On Kollektornaya Street only traces of gravestones and not numerous matseyva – the granite tombstones uprooted have remained. After a rain from the earth here bones and traces of gravestones sometimes appear – "black diggers" look for values here. But how the ancient Jewish cemetery has come to desolation? He was razed by order of the Soviet authorities in 1951, for construction of office buildings and the square to the ground. Now the escaped matseyva are transferred to the steles established in memory of the Jews who have died here who have been deported from Western Europe. reveal all text
