English: Jewish Cemetery in Chernivtsi - a cemetery in the city of Chernivtsi. The Jewish Cemetery on Zelenaya Street was founded by a decision of the municipality in 1866. According to the initial plan of engineer Relli, the cemetery was to be designed as a garden and park complex. The planning was completed by a designer named Gaimbe. About 50,000 residents of Chernivtsi are buried in this cemetery. Although some of the tombstones and monuments are made in the traditional style, others vary greatly. The present steles, sarcophagi, mausoleums and obelisks are made of marble, granite, gabbro, sandstone, cement and other materials. Such outstanding sculptors as B. Reder, L. Kukurudza, the Moskaluk brothers, K. Kundl and others worked in the cemetery. The ornaments on the monuments use traditional Jewish symbols, as well as elements of Ukrainian and Jewish folk art. The inscriptions are mostly in Hebrew or German, and include names, dates of birth and death, sometimes the person's profession or position, a poem or other epitaph. The cemetery contains four mass graves: Jewish soldiers of the Austrian army from World War I (1914-1918), Turkish soldiers, Romanian citizens who died in 1941-1942, and Jewish civilians, victims of the Holocaust in 1941. Since 1995, by the decision of the Chernivtsi City Council, the cemetery has been part of the historical and cultural reserve "Cemetery on Zelenaya Street." Unfortunately, the condition of many tombstones is in a state of emergency. And photo fixation is very important in order to preserve historical information. Today, the Jewish cemetery of Chernivtsi is one of the largest old Jewish cemeteries in Central and Eastern Europe that are protected.
