Country Report: Ukraine. ESJF surveys, analysis and educational events, 2018-2020
Methodology In the absence of an existing register, the preparation of the survey lists necessitated additional research. This was comprised of three main stages: ●
he compiling of all known Jewish cemeteries from all existing lists and T materials of various expeditions.
●
he search for Jewish cemeteries marked on large-scale Polish, Russian, T Austrian, and German pre-war topographic maps from the 1780s-1940s, as well as work with cadastral maps.
●
he on-site investigation of settlements in which there was a significant T (upwards of 100 people) peak Jewish population.
On the basis of this, lists were compiled, which included: 1) Known Jewish cemeteries and cemeteries clearly marked on maps or mentioned in other documents. 2) Settlements where a cemetery could have existed, as there was a Jewish population, to check on location by interviewing locals. As a result, about 400 cemeteries were surveyed which were not mentioned in any published databases. Moreover, around 150 of the cemeteries surveyed do not appear in any published materials from previous expeditions.
