The Holy Sand is the oldest Jewish cemetery preserved in situ in Europe. The oldest gravestones date back to the 11th century. The cemetery survived medieval expulsions and pogroms as well as the Shoah - not always entirely unscathed, but without extensive damage and clearances, so that around 2,500 stones bear witness to the history of the community.
