Memorial or cemetery
Tartu Vana-Juudi kalmistu
In 1859 a small Jewish cemetery was laid out on the south-east side of Tartu's St John's cemetery. The first person buried here was Dov Ber ben David Hakohen Wainrok, a village trader who had come from Kaunas province and worked around Tartu. The plot was extended in 1870 but soon filled up, and in 1895 the town gave free land for a new Jewish cemetery. In 1937 large trees and several costly gravestones could still be seen; by the 1970s only two stones were left, and today a single grey granite headstone and an information board remain.

Eesti keeles
1859. aastal rajati Tartu Jaani kalmistu kaguküljele väike juudi kalmistu. Esimesena maeti siia Kaunase kubermangust tulnud ja Tartu ümbruses tegutsenud külakaupmees Dov Ber ben David Hakohen Wainrok. 1870. aastal kalmistut laiendati, kuid peagi sai ruum otsa ja 1895. aastal andis linn uue juudi kalmistu jaoks tasuta maad. 1937. aastal võis siin veel näha suuri puid ja mitut kallist hauakivi; 1970. aastateks oli alles kaks kivi ning tänaseks on säilinud vaid üks hall graniidist hauakivi ja teabetahvel.
