Jewish cemetery in Chișinău
Jewish cemetery in Chișinău, Jewish burial ground in Buiucani sector, Chișinău, Moldova.
The cemetery spans 12 hectares and contains over 40,000 graves featuring monuments made of sandstone, marble, granite, limestone, and decorated metalwork structures.
The cemetery, officially operating since 1887, suffered extensive damage during World War II, with its eastern section later demolished in 1960 for urban development.
The site includes a memorial to the 1903 pogrom victims and the tomb of Rabbi Leib Jehuda Cirilson, who served as chief rabbi of Bessarabia.
Located on Milano Street near the fire station, the cemetery maintains active burial services while numerous monuments require preservation and maintenance work.
A remarkable aviation monument within the cemetery displays a propeller that continues to rotate with the wind movement to this day.
