I’d like to suggest 2 resources I used a lot. Both of them are in Russian.
1. Jewish cemetaries in Russia with names, photos, etc. : http://toldot.ru/urava/cemetery/
2. Digitized Jewish archives from Rostov-on-Don: http://holocaust.su/search_people/
Thank you. Can you share some information on the scope of each of these resources, and for those who don’t read Russian, some instructions on how to use the sites?
