The Dubno Jewish Cemetery survived the Nazis only to be destroyed by the Soviets, who cleared the area of gravestones by pushing them into a ravine on the far side of the cemetery. Their intention was, reportedly, to create a parking area for buses. After the destruction, an outcry stopped the creation of the parking area. The former cemetery was marked off by a low chain fence. Descendants of Dubno Jews in Israel paid for a monument in the graveyard to memorialize the Jews that had been buried there. A market area was created up to the low chain link fence marking off the former cemetery. The pictures below were taken by Hal Bookbinder in August 2018.
