     Alternate name: Shandref or Schandrovo before the war. My father and his family came from there, so I have more specific details about this place. Apparently, Jews lived here since the early 19th century. In 1944, there were as 90 families. 60 families had the surname Fuchs (Fux), but not all of them were related. The rest were named Yaakobovich and were Cohanim. The surnames represented 500 persons, mostly Hasidim of the Sapinka Rebbe. In 1944, they were deported to the ghetto of Sakernice with other Jews from 8 villages, and from there to Auschwitz. The cemetery is located on a farm of a local family called "Sabbotniks" meaning Gentiles who keep Shabbat and some other Jewish traditions. There are some other families like them in the village. Big fruit trees grow in the cemetery. The general situation is not good. Most tombstones are broken or buried in the land. Vegetation overgrowth covered some of the 120 tombstones. I saw tombstones from the 1870s. Earlier tombstones may be covered by vegetation. All of the tombstones are traditional flat shaped, with Hebrew inscriptions. No tombstones are date after 1944. The visitors pay the caretakers. The cemetery is about 120x100 meters. I visited 2 September 1998. My father has more details.
