Zamość — kever of the Maggid of Dubno

Jewish cemetery, Prosta, Zamość, Lublin Voivodeship, Poland

• LITTLE IS LEFT STANDING. The old cemetery, on the hill about 250 metres north of the market square, was used as a market garden during the war; two free-standing matzevos and several dozen broken fragments are all that survive of it. At the site on Prosta there is a monument built from matzevo fragments.
• Sources place the Maggid of Dubno in one of the town's two Jewish cemeteries but do not agree which. Ask locally before you go, rather than assuming — this is the one detail worth settling in advance.
• An ohel was put up in 1995 over the kever of Reb Yosef Mordechai Leiner, on the initiative of Rabbi Edgar Gluck.
• SURVEYED COORDINATES. The map point on this listing is the cemetery itself, measured on the ground by the ESJF survey — not a town centre. Where a kever is inside an ohel it will still need finding once you are through the gate, but the gate is now something you can navigate to.
