The earliest known Jewish community was late 16th century. Jewish population as of 1939 census was 629. In 1856, a fire destroyed 256 Jewish houses. The government in Kiev sent a team to investigate and was able to determine that the fire started in a Jewish woodworker's shop, Abraham Arlave.
Noteworthy individual, who lived in this Jewish community, was Yisroel Zinberg who wrote "The History of Jewish Literature." Zinberg once said "I am one of the last Mohicans dealing only with the past. Today I am writing only about our past and the heritage of our forefathersWhile I do this, I have a desire to speak to live people."
Jewish cemetery was established: Old cemetery from late 1500s has been completely destroyed.
I located it in July 2003. It was given by The Village Soviet to a private person. New Cemetery dates from early 1800s
and is less than a mile from the synagogue that used it. The non-landmarked Orthodox New Cemetery last burial was in 1941.
The urban cemetery on flat land is separate, but near other cemeteries with no sign or marker. The mass grave and memorial
is immediately adjacent to the New Cemetery with a plaque in Hebrew and a plaque in Ukrainian mentioning The Holocaust
installed 1999 by Volodymyr Andrashuk for a forgiveness ceremony.
The cemetery owned by the municipality is reached by turning directly off a public road and is open
to all with a continuous masonry wall, broken fence, and no gate. Approximate size of cemetery before World War II was 1.5 acre?
100 500 gravestones are in cemetery, regardless of condition or position, probably all in original location. Approximately
25% - 50% of surviving stones are toppled or broken. Vegetation overgrowth in the cemetery is a constant problem,
disturbing stones. The limestone and sandstone flat shaped stones, finely smoothed and inscribed stones, and flat
stones with carved relief decoration in the cemetery date from early 1800s and have Hebrew inscriptions.
The mass grave contains special memorial monuments to Holocaust victims and for the burial of a woman,
Eeta Nucheemovna ( daughter of Nuchem ) Onishinkov, the last Jew in Lanovtsy, who chose to be buried in the marked
mass grave in 1981. The cemetery property is now used for Jewish cemetery only. Properties adjacent to the cemetery
are residential. Private visitors (Jewish or non-Jewish) and local residents may visit rarely.
The cemetery was vandalized during World War II and occasionally, between 1981 and 1991.
Only care has been clearing of vegetation by Jewish individuals abroad in Fall 2004. Security (uncontrolled access) and
pollution are serious threats. Vegetation and vandalism are a very serious threat.

There is consensus that the market in Lviv, which is now on the site of large Jewish cemetery, be moved to another location and that the Jewish cemetery be planted, fenced and maintained. Discussions are being held to assist the city of Lviv in re-locating the market. Then, non-governmental funds from Jewish communities outside Ukraine could contribute to the rehabilitation and maintenance of the cemetery. Source: Samuel Gruber; sdgruber@syr.edu [6/97]
