Old Jewish cemetery

Jews who returned from evacuation and the front after the liberation of Mogilev reburied in the cemetery their compatriots and relatives killed in different parts of the city.

The organisation and fundraising for the reburial was carried out by believing Jewish families. They were mostly elderly people. The reburial took place in accordance with Jewish customs. Women sewed shrouds (tachrichim) from sheets. The money raised was used to hire wagons with horses and labourers. The exact time of the monument's installation remains unknown. It was probably installed in the early 1960s.

In 2000 the monument was renewed on the initiative of the Jewish community and the Embassy of Israel; a six-pointed star and Hebrew text appeared on the stele. The area in front of the grave was tiled with tiles depicting the Menorah, the seven-candle-stick.
