One of the identified graves of Ghetto Field at the New Jewish Cemetery in Lodz. The Ghetto Field consists of about 45 thousand graves of people, who died in Ghetto. They were buried over there in the individual graves in accordance with the provisions of the Jewish religion. However most of those graves are not traceable on the surface (apart of those with the concrete gravestones). Nowadays the Ghetto field is reconstructed and the graves are being identified (following the archives of the cemetery) under the auspices of the Ministry of Defence of Israel.

    Sad testimony.
    By the way, the translation is -

    “Beker Yohbad Bat (daughter of) Abraham”
    “55 years old at time of death”
    “Killed/Died in 1941″
    “Let her soul be bound with the bond of the living.”
