ESJF (European Jewish Cemeteries Initiative) surveyed the two Jewish cemeteries in Dubova in 2019. They were partly or completely demolished. The few gravestones identifiable in the older cemetery in 2010 come from early in the 20th century, according to History of Jewish Communities in Ukraine. Even fewer gravestones were found at the same time in the newer Jewish cemetery.
The following eight images appear by kind permission of ESJF. The dates on them are all January 15, 2020. The older cemetery, shown first, has a perimeter of 240 yards (220 meters).
The Ukrainian words at the top of the monument by the older cemetery read “To the victims of the pogroms against the
Jewish populace of the town of Dubova in the summer of 1919.”
