Hello,

I would appreciate a translation of the right half of a double
headstone that can be viewed at
http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM58713 I
thought this was the headstone of a woman named Berta Feder Shafir, but
the Hebrew appears to have the word "ben" in the name in the second
line, suggesting that it is also the headstone of a man. This is the
best photo I have, and I cannot quite make out the Hebrew. Perhaps the
words will be more obvious to someone with greater fluency. A picture of
the headstone used to be available online, but the cemetery website has
been taken down, so I only have this screenshot I took earlier. In case
it is relevant, the cemetery is on the French-Swiss border.

Thank you very much for your assistance.

Toby Gass
