CEMETERY: Cemetery in 1937. tombstones in the Seta Jewish Cemetery: The cemetery was destroyed "by the communists in 1949, who transported the tombstones from the cemetery across the Obelis river to use in building the foundation of a collective farm. The farm is now abandoned and in ruins and there is no evidence at all that what is embedded in the concrete was once the Seta Jewish tombstones. In order to reach the collective farm from Seta, one has to cross a bridge consisting of two narrow tubes and no handrail." Cemetery today with memorial to the Jews of Shat murdered in the Holocaust.
