Lonely Planet review for Jewish Cemetery

Levi Yitzhak’s mausoleum is in Berdychiv’s eerie, overgrown Jewish Cemetery. While the mausoleum itself has been looked after, several-hundred-odd boot-shaped tombstones lie hideously askew and virtually hidden by weeds, neglected almost to the point of disbelief. Many tombstones, etched with barely legible Hebrew inscriptions, lie flat on the ground. The graves predate the Nazis by at least several decades, but it was the Nazis who sealed the cemetery’s fate by leaving no Jews behind to care for it.
