Belarus: Dokshitsy Jewish Cemetery

Aaron Ginsburg, president of the Friends of Jewish Dokshitsy, recently reported that the town has re-erected 134 tombstones on the grounds of the Jewish cemetery, which was destroyed in 1965.

Most of the stones were buried under a road for 40 years.

Aaron writes that help is needed to translate the inscriptions on the stones. If you can help, have questions or need more information, contact him here.
