About this cemetery
The Jewish cemetery on Zelena Street in Chernivtsi was founded by a municipal decision in 1866 and was planned by the engineer Relly as a garden-park complex. It is regarded as the largest Jewish cemetery by area preserved in Europe. Public and political figures of the city's Jewish community are buried here, and volunteers from several countries cleaned the historic site in 2008.
