Holocaust Memorial
Wall Around Cemetery
And down the hill, on the field, there is a lonely stone....
A memorial tombstone,
engraved in our hearts.
Tears are shed from our eyes;
for our children, wives and elders;
and for the Rabbis of our congregation,
that were preyed and burned by the bestial
f a s c i s t s.

Died 28 Cheshvan 5698.( Tuesday, November 2, 1937)
Translation by David Rosen
And by Avraham Malthete in French:
Pas facile à lire, mais on peut lire quand même :
1) Ici repose
2) la femme considérée
3) réservée dans ses actions,
4) une Eshet 'Haïl (une femme de valeur)
5) Pessa-Frouah
6) Tsarfat
7) fille de .........................
8) décédée en bon renom
9) le 28 (ou le 25)
10) du mois de Mar'heshvan
11) de l'année 698 (ou 695). Que son âme soit liée au faisceau des vivants.
Ce qui donnerait plusieurs possibilités de date de décès:
28 Mar'heshvan 698 = mardi 2/11/1937
25 Mar'heshvan 698 = samedi 30/10/1937
28 Mar'heshvan 695 = mardi 6/11/1934
25 Mar'heshvan 695 = samedi 3/11/1934
mais c'est le première proposition qui me parait la plus plausible.
