Jewish cemetery: Many gravestones removed by the Germans and locals were used to pave the streets. The cemetery appears neglected, but vegetation is controlled by grazing animals. The surrounding stone wall is gone, but survivors in Israel plan erect a fence. [January 2009] TWO MASS GRAVES: one for women and one for men. A beautiful memorial in Hebrew and Ukrainianover one of the mass graves was erected in the late 1990s with financial support from survivors in Israel reads in English: "In memory of all the martyred victims of the Holocaust from Horodenka and vicinity who were murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators during the actions, in the labor camps, in the death camps, and by all other means during the period of the Second World War, 1941-1945.55" [January 2009]
