Located in SE Moldova, Tiraspol founded in 1795 is the capital and administrative center of the self-proclaimed independent Republic of Transnistria and the second largest city in the Republic of Moldova (as internationally recognized). On the eastern bank of the Dniester River, Tiraspol is one of the few cities largely unchanged from Soviet Union rule. (Two statues of Lenin still stand.) As result of the political and economic situation that followed the proclamation of the independent (not recognized) Republic of Transnistria, the population of the city in 2004 was 158,069. Tiraspol had a Jewish population since the 17th century. Tiraspol was founded by the Russian general Alexander Suvorov in 1792. In the mid-19th century, Jews from Russia, Dubossari, and Grigoriopol settled in Tiraspol. By 1897, the Jewish community was 27% of 8,668 residents. Nearly the entire Jewish community perished in Nazi concentration camps. By the 1960s, nearly 1,500 Jews lived in Tiraspol. Police arrested several skinheads suspected of pipe bombing a Tiraspol synagogue in April and June 2002 on 14-15 April 2001. The building was damaged, but the guard was not hurt. 4 May 2004, vandals threw a Molotov cocktail in an attempt to set fire to a Synagogue in Tiraspol. The attack failed when passers-by extinguished the fire. Since 2001, the Welfare Cultural Center combines welfare and cultural programs for the Jewish community. Current Jewish population: 2,300 people in Tiraspol and 130 people in nine surrounding localities.

The The urban flat land, separate but near other cemeteries, is reached by turning directly off a public road. Access is open to all via a continuous fence and non-locking gate. There are no visible gravestones or structures. Vegetation overgrowth is a seasonal problem that prevents access. The municipality owns property used for Jewish cemetery only. Properties adjacent are commercial or industrial, agricultural, and residential. Rarely, private visitors stop. The cemetery was vandalized during World War II, but since 1989, the local authorities established a fence. They also occasionally clean or clear the cemetery. Michal Witwicki, ul.
