Can anyone supply or suggest where to find statistics about the state of Belarussian cemeteries and their documentation? I am especially interested in quantified descriptions of:
1) the rate at which the cemeteries are being destroyed (by natural or other means)
2) the rate at which inscriptions on the matzevot are becoming illegible
3) the extent of written or photographic documentation of the matzevot
If there are any standards by which cemeteries are considered endangered, I would also be interested in knowing which Belarussian cemeteries qualify.
Thank you very much and best regards,
