Jewish cemetery (Nalchik)
The Nalchik Jewish Cemetery ( Russian Еврейское кладбище в Нальчике ) is a Jewish burial place in Nalchik , the capital of the Russian republic of Kabardino-Balkaria in the North Caucasus . The Jewish population of Nalchik is predominantly made up of mountain Jews and a minority of Ashkenazim .
When German troops occupied the northern Caucasus at the end of 1942 during the Second World War , several hundred Jews were murdered by Einsatzgruppe D of the SD until the Germans withdrew in 1943 . Initially buried in an anti-tank ditch as a mass grave, they found their final resting place in the Jewish cemetery in Nalchik.
In 1990 and February and June 2000 there were incidents of anti-Semitic vandalism in the facilities of the Jewish cemeteries in Nalchik and Nizhny Novgorod .
