Kassel Cemetery
Velykokomarivka, Rozdilna Raion, Odeska, Ukraine
Kassel, Glueckstal, Odessa, South Russia currently Velykokomarivka, Odes'ka, Ukraine
Description and Photo by Elaine (Becker) MORRISON:
The Kassel Cemetery is east of, but adjacent to, the village (established in about 1810).
To reach the German section, a person will drive on a narrow road, past the Ukrainian burials. Beyond that section is a dense growth of vegetation, trees and shrubbery. The German section is so dense that it is almost impossible to penetrate more than a few feet.
On my last visit in 2011, I saw no evidence of grave markers, but in 1996 we did see small pieces of broken tombstones. Also, in 1996 there appeared to be evidence of an attempt to clear the area. At that time we found a piece of cranial bone, identified by the suture lines on the bone.
When this photo was taken in 1996 it was possible to walk through part of the area that was then not overgrown with vegetation.
