The photograph of a grave fenced with wooden posts and railings, dated March 1944. On the fifth post, next to the grave, there is a plaque with a Cyrillic inscription; in front of it there is a stick with a plaque in Latin font: B.P. | JULIUS LEIBEL | 1896-1944. Next to it there are graves in the same style, with plaques in Latin and Cyrillic. By Leibel's grave a tree grows, in the background a birch tree can be seen. Snow lies everywhere. On the back of the photograph along the bottom edge in pen the inscription KOZMODEM. [Koźmodiemiansk] III 1944. Emilia Leibel recalled: one young Jew [...] helped me to place such a neglected, broken slab from some grave that had been thrown down, so that animals would not simply dig it up...
