Briceni is a district town in northern Moldova. Its large Jewish cemetery recalls a community that was central to the town's life before the Holocaust.

## Notes

Briceni is the district town in northern Moldova, not the eastern namesake village. Historical town/market and village components have different scope; cemetery counts vary, so none is repeated.
