US Commission No. SLCE000100

Jelsava is located W of Roznava. The suburban hillside, separate but near other cemeteries, has no sign or marker. Reached by crossing a cemetery, access is open to all with no wall or gate. 20-100 19th-20th century marble, limestone, and sandstone tombstones in original locations are flat shaped tombstones with Hebrew and German inscriptions. Adjacent properties are industrial/commercial and a cemetery. Private visitors visit occasionally. Incompatible nearby and proposed developments are very serious threats.
