According to Ed Hoak, the cemetery was destroyed after the deportation in 1941 and the only burials recorded are after 1960 when the Germans were allowed to return. The cemetery is laid out such as to have the German burials along the west side and the Orthodox graves along another fence line at right angles. Each of the graves has a metal fence surrounding it. The old graves are within the fenced cemetery enclosure, but not marked in any way. It looks more like an open field. David and Natalie visited the cemetery with Ed Hoak as he copied the German names on the tombstones. The names found were Maier, Steak, Peil, Kyle, Erhardt, Nuss, Fritzler, Krum, Mai, Gritzfeld, Shaf, Schwendich, Leber, Kailman, and Schulte: The inscriptions are written in Russian, and an English/German translation is as follows.
Additional information about the people below was furnished by Maria Leimann, former resident of Holstein.
