The stone was found in the Buddhist cemetery in the west of
Shanghai. This place use to be International cemetery until
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 there were placed
by the local authorities at the request of the Israeli consulate
of Shanghai. The stone was broken during efforts to move it.
In trying to decipher the English inscription could see that
the stone was erected by Joseph Katz. There is clear star
of David at the top of the stone.
