Cemetery: The Jewish cemetery in Berekboszormeny is a small tree-enclosed site in the middle of a family's field planted with zucchini and other vegetables. When I was there in 1987, the graves were in reasonably good condition and the site obviously maintained periodically. As I recall, about 30-40 graves date from the mid-19th Century. The most recent burial appeared to be my great-grandmother, who died in 1942. No Jews remain in the village as they were all killed in 1944.
