Dear Hardy,

Is this gravestone in the Jewish cemetery?
When was it photographed? And do you know where it is located?
Julia from SVIT Ukraine is having small information signs made to point to
specific graves or monuments at the Jewish cemetery. This gravestone, in my
opinion deserves such an information pointer.
