Conservation:
This headstone and more than a hundred others were recovered from under the asphalt paving of vul. Hanna Barvinok southwest of the Lviv city center over several days in June 2018, in a volunteer event organized by the Sholem Aleichem Jewish Cultural Society of Lviv and the Lviv Volunteer Center. The stones were 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 Case Study 13 on the website A Guide to Jewish Cemetery Preservation in Western Ukraine.
