NEZHIN:
Nezhin is a town (pop. 86,000) 90 miles NNE of Kiev. In Czarist times, it was uezd capital in Chernigov guberniya. In the 1880s, there were roughly 250 annual Jewish births. The "new" Jewish cemetery is along a country road perhaps 4-5 miles NE of the center of Nezhin. There is a low fence along the road, but no fence appeared to enclose the other sides. The grounds seem reasonably well maintained in the European fashion in that junk trees are rooted out; and the grass is scythed before it gets taller than waist-high. I do not know who is responsible for administration. There is no office on the premises or any sign directing the visitor to an administration. There is a working well at entrance to provide water for washing. The cemetery seems very large, but graves occupy only a small portion. There are clusters of graves on two sides of a small house rumored to contain the graves of Hasidic "Tsadikim", and several clusters of graves extending into a wooded area. If pressed, I would estimate roughly 500 graves, but I could easily be off by 50%. Graves are clumped in rows 5-10 graves wide. There may be 6-20 rows before a break. Iron railings surround most graves. Apparently, each grave was individual; I saw no couples buried together. The cemetery generally adhered to the pattern of alternative rows for men and women. Most stones were tall, irregular quadrangles rising from rectangular concrete bases. In the Russian style, most stones had either ceramic or incised portraits of the deceased. While some stones had metal markers affixed, most had the information incised on the stone. Hebrew inscriptions were rare; most inscriptions were solely in Russian. More red stars decorate the graves than Jewish stars or other Jewish symbols (though some graves have cut-off tree trunks). I saw no stone with a date of death earlier than 1946. Near the house was a fat, roughly-cut rectangular stone inscribed in Hebrew that looked to be an older style that was partly legible to me, but the woman's year of death was not legible. To reach the cemetery, go N from the center of town on the vul. Moskovskaya. About 1 mile after crossing the Oster River, turn right on vul. Semashko. Where it dead-ends, turn left. (I believe that is the vul. Zavodskaya, but my notes are unclear.) Continue through a wood, across the railroad tracks, then past farm fields on both sides to the cemetery on your right. The entire journey can be made by bicycle, but I believe there is a point that autos cannot pass. I was told that there was a pre-war Jewish cemetery, but that it was completely destroyed in World War II. None of the people I spoke with knew where it was. They all thought that some old-timer might, but we never found one that did.
