Alla Gajdis: Confessional relations before the war

Categories: Confessional and international relations, Alla Gajdis

Gipsy cemetery.

It is on the hill.

The legend is the following: there was a cemetery here, a village cemetery. But before there lived lots of the Jews, oh no, the Gipsy. They were going in Gipsy-caravans. They came here and stayed for a couple of days. Once a Gipsy died, and he was buried at this cemetery. After that the Christians stopped to bury people there, the Poles and Belarusians. And they opened a cemetery here where I told you before. But the information that there was a cemetery is definite, I know about that. They dug hay holes, the guys dug them… May be there were such crosses like ours.
