Here is a first selection, including images from Lviv (Lemberg, Lwow), Sokal, Velyki Mosty, Zhovkva, Staryi Sambir, Ternopil, Sataniv and Chernivtsi (Czernowitz). What are your favorites?

Thank you so much!
Thank you for your blog and these photos..haunting and beautiful. I fear that as these stones are left to crumble that the history and memory of Eastern European Jewry will fade and be forgotten too.
Good omage from Sokal. Congratulations!!
