This large cross was recently erected on the site of the Jewish cemetery.
Cemetery Three was used for mass shootings during the war. It is located near the Kolomyja train station. The cemetery survived the war, but it was destroyed late in the Soviet period in 1988. It was then used as a garbage dump. Today, it is a large, untended field with sheds and homeless dwellings scattered throughout. There is also a soccer field on the perimeter. While many of the headstones from Cemetery Three were relocated to Cemetery Two, some still remain. 2017
