The exact grave coordinates are not confirmed yet — go by the address and ask locally. We don't publish a coordinate we haven't checked.

1.Resting place of Rabbi Moshe Polier of Kobrin, a disciple of the Lechovitch line and founder of the Kobrin chassidus.
2.THE BURIAL TOWN IS FIRM AND NOTHING ELSE IS. Kobryn's own yizkor book records that his kever is in the town and that other rabbonim were buried beside him. No source found gives a street, an ohel, a gate, a keyholder or a description of what stands over him.
3.THE CEMETERY IS ALSO A HOLOCAUST SITE, with mass graves recorded on and around it. Behave in it accordingly.
4.The survey claims legible matzevos from the fifteenth century. That would be remarkable for Belarus and this page repeats it as the survey's claim rather than as fact.
5.Belarus is the least documented country on this site. Ask before travelling rather than expecting to find the kever yourself, and check current entry requirements.
