Stone Condition:

The stone is broken, and the face is badly damaged so that the epitaph is obscured in places.

Conservation:

This headstone and several others were uncovered from under the asphalt paving of vul. Hanna Barvinok southwest of the Lviv city center during utility repair works by the city in July 2017. The stones were recovered by the Sholem Aleichem Jewish Cultural Society of Lviv and the Lviv Volunteer Center and then moved to the new Jewish cemetery adjacent to the Yanivskyi Cemetery northwest of the city center, from which they were likely originally stolen during the German occupation of World War II.
For more information, see the About Lviv page on this website and a blog post on the Vanished World website.
