     Article in the Kingston Whig-Standard on Monday, October 27, 1997, page 14: "The tombstones are everywhere. Old ones jut out of the high grass at awkward angles. The graves overlook the green rolling hills-Ukraine's blood-soaked black earth under the perfect dome of its vast blue skies. The 1917 Bolshevik Revolution and the Russian Civil War, the Second World War and Soviet rule gave the shtetls a mortal blow. Today, it seems only the names on the graves remain-Bratslav, Uman, Nemirov, Bershad, Shepetovka. Maria Yakovlevna, a Ukrainian woman who has been tending Shargorod's Jewish cemetery for most of her life, walks among the tombstones in early August. One stone is possibly readable with a very well-trained eye and a magnifying glass, but perhaps not." Shargorod is one of the few remaining shtetls. [Source? Date?]

Local Jewish population figures are 1880:1835 Jews of a total population of 1754; 1900: 1324 Jews of a total population of 1730, and 1910: 1264 of 1614 total. There were 2000 Jews in 1912 but in Jan 1939 only 890. The cemetery was established in the second half of the 17th century with last known Orthodox burial in 1941, not used by other Jewish communities. The town plains, separate with no special markings, is reached by going around the church and church orchard. Barbed wire fence but no gate surrounds. The cemetery was 150m x 200m but looks bigger. About 500 tombstones have 100-500 not in original places and half overturned and broken. Very overgrown weeds are a seasonal problem restricting access. Drainage is a seasonal problem. There are separate sections at the cemetery for rabbis and Kohans. The oldest tombstone is from 1836. The limestone and sandstone rough stones or boulders, hewn stones with inscriptions or flat stones with engraved images have Yiddish inscriptions. Municipality owns site used as a Jewish cemetery bordering agricultural and residential areas. Occupying the same area as in 1939, occasionally organized groups visit. Vandalism took place during WWII, but not recently. There has been no maintenance and no care except for the barbed wire. No structures. Security and vegetation are grave dangers. Erosion, vandalism, and incompatible construction are less so.
