Elaborate carved ornament of an old headstone at the old Jewish cemetery established in the 17th century containing almost 3000 tombstones in the suburbs of Bolekhiv a regional city in Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast (province) of Ukraine which was once home to a large Jewish community. During the Holocaust, the Jewish community was annihilated, brutally, by the Germans with local Ukrainian collaborators. Only 48 of Bolekhiv's Jews were known to have survived the war.
