     The earliest known Jewish community was middle 19 [sic]. 1926 Jewish population (census) was 200. In 1918, Zakarpatye was transferred to Czech; 1944 Jewish deportations to the death camp. The last known Hasidic burial was 1943. No other towns or villages used this unlandmarked cemetery. The isolated urban flat land has no sign or marker. Reached by turning directly off a public road, access is open to all. No wall, fence, or gate surrounds. 21 to 100 common tombstones, most in original location with 25%-50% toppled or broken, date from the 19th century. Location of any removed stones is unknown. The cemetery contains no known mass graves. Municipality owns property used for agriculture (crops or animal grazing). Properties adjacent are agricultural. The cemetery boundaries are smaller now than 1939 because of agriculture. Rarely, local residents visit. The cemetery was vandalized during World War II. There is no maintenance now. Within the limits of the cemetery are no structures. Vegetation overgrowth is a seasonal problem, preventing access. Very serious threat: uncontrolled access and vandalism. Moderate threat: vegetation, and existing nearby and/or proposed development. Slight threat: weather erosion and pollution.
