ROW 1, GRAVE 18: Group Six : Could this be the grave of Rabbi SCHORR?

ROW 1, GRAVE 18

Grave of man, decorated with a bookcase. Hard to read.

Important project: Clean and photograph this gravestone.  It MAY be the grave of Rabbi Kisiel / Kasiel SCHORR.


Rabbi Kisiel / Kasiel SCHORR died in 1918 after serving as a rabbi in Lubaczow. He was the father of Rabbi Lewi Isak SCHORR who then became a rabbi in Lubaczow. Rabbi Lewi Izak SCHORR was murdered in the Holocaust.


If Grave 18 on this row turns out to be the grave of Rabbi Kisiel / Kasiel SCHORR who died in 1918, then the story told in the Koenig family about their grandfather Moshe KOENIG  being buried next to Rabbi SCHORR will  have helped us locate the rabbi's grave.

A cold winter day in January was not the best day to closely check this gravestone. We tried, but the text is very shallow and difficult to read.

So this gravestone is still in  Group Six: Difficult to Identify

The signature and the stamp of Rabbi SCHORR from a wedding certificate from the year 1900. Thanks to a Lubaczow descendant.
