Other Notes:
The headstone image seen here is an excerpt from an undated pre-WWII postcard photograph of Rohatyn’s old Jewish cemetery, taken near the top of the cemetery with a view of the wooden St. Nicholas church in the background. The photo was sourced from the New York Public Library (NYPL) by the Rohatyn District Research Group (RDRG). All of the stones in this photographs were stolen from the old cemetery for use in road construction during the German occupation of Rohatyn in WWII; to date none have been recovered, and all remain missing.
