A while ago we have received an official letter from
Dokshitzy's local authorities regarding preservation
of tombstones that used to be a part of old Jewish
cemetery. Dokshitzy's Jewish cemetery was replaced
with a city park in 1965. Only small corner of the
park, which still carries about 30 tombstones, reminds
us that ones it used to be a Jewish cemetery.
Local authorities are asking us how we envision this
project. If you have any suggestion, please contact us
directly at

Yuri Dorn,
Coordinator of
Jewish Heritage Research Group in Belarus,
President of URJC of Belarus.
