Additional Info
Ester's headstone is mostly broken and missing. From the piece of marble that is left her only her first name is legible. The stone is now located in the Buddhist cemetery in the west of Shanghai. This place use to be the International cemetery until the Cultural Revolution of China. In 1958, all the four Jewish cemeteries in Shanghai moved to this cemetery in the west of the city. During the Cultural Revolution all the western graves in this place where destroyed. The headstones located there were placed by the local authorities at the request of the Israeli consulate of Shanghai.
