Shmulewsky Leonid son of Israel. This is a white marble stone,
broken in its right bottom. The star of David on the top of
the stone but the picture that used to be there was taken.
The stone is now located in the Buddhist cemetery in the west
of Shanghai. This place use to be International cemetery until
the cultural revolution of China. In 1958, all the four Jewish
cemeteries in Shanghai moved to this international cemetery
in the west of the city. During the cultural revolution all
the western graves in this place where destoried. The headstones
located in this place at the moment were placed there by the
local authorities by request of the Israeli consulate of Shanghai
after we showed them many lost Jewish headstones that can
be found in the villages west of the city. Leonid died in
Shanghai at the age of 32.
