The Jewish cemetery of Preili

There is no word to say how this cemetery is sad .
All the tombs are in the forest, buried in the ground. Most of the gravestones are broken and covered by moss.
Almost nothing is visible.
But the city is very beautiful and also the memorial of the holocaust.
Nobody ever thought of coming to restore this poor cemetery ?
