But elsewhere, Desbois has used his dogged persistence to commemorate the execution of Jews before all recollection of them is lost forever. In late December, Yaroslav Nadiak, Rava-Ruska's former deputy mayor, hired workers to lay a cement gravestone with a Jewish star in Borowe, a village on the edge of town, atop the mass grave containing about 1,500 Jews - the one Nadiak...
