Amusement park opened on the cemetery in Kamenets-Podolsky

Acts of vandalism continue to take place in Ukrainian cities. In Kamenets-Podolsky, on the cemetery in Zhovtnevyi microdistrict, where 23 thousand Jews are buries, the entertainment park began its work. It is reported by ВААД.

Trampolines, a shooting range and playgrounds were placed on the site of mass graves.

Reportedly, despite the fact that the head of the regional council, Mikhail Zagorodny, knew that this territory is a cemetery, this did not prevent to establish rides on the mass grave.

On August 8, 1941 in the Old City Germans created a ghetto, which moved the entire Jewish population of the city over Smotrych, and on August 27-28 the Nazis began mass shootings. About 12 thousand Jews were shot. In addition, near Kamenets, on its northern border (now the territory of Zhovtnevyi microdistrict), in August 1941, 7000 Hungarian and Slovak Jews were shot, and in September, in the city itself, the Nazis killed 11,000 more foreign Jews.

Now on the site of mass executions there is a small memorial complex – four monuments with memorial plaques. However, in fact, the entire territory of today's park in the microdistrict "Zhovtnevyi" is a large cemetery. In Soviet times, most of the graves were destroyed, and only a small area was preserved.
