Since during the 2nd Polish Republic, Lwów was about quarter Jewish, it seemed appropriate to mention the active Jewish Cemetery of the time. Also since many residents of city perished during WWII (and not just the Jewish population), expellation sentence was rephrased. Finally, I could not from my resources determine if the cemetery was open to significant non-Christian burial. Any references?
Since we apparently can't include pictures from commons here before the english wikipedia gets fixed why not simply create a gallery on commons and link to it?
[edit] Name
According to the Ukrainian language name (Личаківський), the title should be correctly transliterated as Lychakivsky/Lychakivskyi and not as Lychakivskiy. Ukrainian и is transliterated as y, in Russian - и = i. So, is there any reason as to why we have the current name (Lychakivskiy)? —dima/s-ko/ 03:49, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
