wrote to Stanley Finkelstein at 6713 Oyster Cove, W. Bloomfield,
Michigan 48323: "I suggest you begin to put together a committee
including descendants and survivors to design your approach. It
sounds as if you and your family members are ready to do this. It
is advisable to raise money (or pledges), too, as funds will be
needed regardless of the solution. Perhaps Mr. Spira in Bardejov

BREKOV:
A small hidden cemetery exists halfway between the towns of
Strazske (4852 2150) and Brekov (4854 2150), when traveling north
from Michalovce to Humenne in a small wooded patch immediately to
the west of the road in the direction of the chemical plant
further west. It is immediately prior to the overpass above the
railroad tracks that has (had?) restaurants for motorists on
either side. it is heavily overgrown with vegetation and thus
protected against vandalism or even curious onlookers. You just
have to know it is there to be able to find it. Nearby on the
opposite (east ) side of the road is a red brick tower of unknown
purpose above 3 stories high. Further to the east is the Laborec
river with remnants of an old mill and a newer building that used
to be a recreational facility. I would say there are twenty plus
gravestones with fairly legible writings and even some "utensil"
type artefacts on the ground ( I recall some type of challice
there twenty-five years ago when I visited.) I assume no one
cares for the unfencedproperty, but probably well-preserved due
to being so overgrown. This information is approximately 25
years-old and may not be accurate in all respects. Source: powerplantman@lycos.com

In 1994, a gypsy from a tavern led us to the cemetery where
tombstones have been reused as pathways, thresholds, etc. We
uncovered what we could in a short time, but many tombstones were
unreachable with the tools available. Names seen included
Gellerman. The tomb of the town mohel, Naphtali haLevi Ehrlich,
was there in 1994. The cemetery is outside of the town proper, on
the right side of the road. One stone is barely visible from the
road. You cross a little stream and climb a hill in order to
reach a drywall fence, which seems to mark the outer boundary of
the cemetry. From its appearance, I would say that the cemetery
has been abandoned since 1938-39. Source: Lenni Kramer, 90 Birch

1998 UPDATE: I visited the Jewish cemetery in Dechtice and
its beautiful surroundings. The village of Dechtice is 18 km away
from Trnava and 50 km away from the capital Bratislava. It is NOT
true, that the cemetery is used for waste dump. Many trees and
bushes with sharp thorns that make entry impossible. There is
much more left of the overgrown cemetery than is mentioned in the
description US Commission No. SLCE000227. One side of the site is
about 500 m away from an agricultural co-op but they do not dump
garbage in the cemetery. I talked with quite a number of people,
even the village mayor, about cleaning up the cemetery. See:
http://www.napri.sk/stranky/dechtice for more information. The
hilltop above the cemetery is a waste dump or abandoned. The
whole hill is unused. The agricultural co-op owns the entire
hill, but the cemetery is a separate site. 80% of the site is
grass and the rest loose bushes. The co-op cuts the grass
annually, but not in the vicinity of the cemetery due to its bad
terrain, even for tractors. The village would like to clean this
site but need for a little financing in US$. I suggest mainly
removal of bushes, payment for about 5 men with chain saws to cut
out the unneeded trees and scrubs as needed. The village has no
money only debts because they brought the gas line into the
village paid by public and village money. Source: markosemes@yahoo.com

DOBRA: {10978}
The town of Zemplen Dobra, also know as Dobra nad Ondavou, no
longer exists as it is now under a man-made lake. However, the
cemetery is still there in good condition. Directions to the
Dobra Cemetery: Go N on the low road on the W side of the lake
from Mala Domasa. Pass the dark brown Kaffe Bar. Continue on the
road around the bend in the road to the right. It seems as though
this is the end of the lake but it is actually only a small place
on the W where the lake juts out. Continue on this road a short
distance. Turn left at the Hotel Dobra that is really just a
small lodge. Make the first right onto a gravel road. Continue
about 1 km on the gravel road past a gate that looks like a
railroad-crossing gate. The cemetery is a short way past, up the
road on the right after this gate. Enclosed in a chain link fence
with a lock on it, the key is in Kosice. There is a place on the
left side toward the back where you can crawl under the fence if
you don't mind getting muddy. Wear waterproof hiking boots as the
cemetery is under a heavy canopy of trees and probably never
completely dries out. There are about 50 graves. Dr. Josif Banik,
who lives in the town of Benkovce, cares for the cemetery.
