Cemetery

The cemetery probably exists since the end of the 17th century. The oldest gravestone dates from 1748. In the period after 1933 the cemetery was closed, the gravestones were sold. The stones made of basalt and granite were further used. Some stones were found after the war by a stonemason and were put up again. Today there are 22 stones and a memorial column in the cemetery.

The only Jewish cemetery in Mallorca is located in Santa Eugenia, northwest of Palma. The cemetery is a foundation of more recent times. The old cemetery was located to the east of the Jewish residential district in Palma and is not preserved.

The graves in Santa Eugenia have grave slabs as in Sephardic graves, but have additional gravestones.

The älteste cemetery was located between the Old Synagogue between the östliche side and the former city wall on a square, which is now used as a lawn. The cemetery itself is no longer preserved.

In Miodowa Street in the east of Kaziemierz, lies the „new“ Jüdische cemetery. It was built in 1800, and also in this cemetery gravestones were smashed during the German occupation. A monument was erected from these broken slabs right next to the entrance. On this cemetery even today funerals take place.

Only a few kilometers south of Kaziemierz there were two Jewish cemeteries on the Ulica Abrahama in Plaszow. One was located on the Ulica Abrahama. It has not been preserved. Another cemetery was located in the north of the camp area. The grave slabs were removed, only the borders of the graves are preserved.

From 1890 was buried in the new Jewish cemetery in the east of the suburb Ziskov. The cemetery is still used by Prague Jews today. Next to old gravestones we can find steles commemorating the expulsion of Jüdic communities by the Nazis.

The new cemetery was inaugurated in 1943. He also adjoins the municipal cemetery, but östlich. He is so far occupied with about 400 Gräber

In the front part of the new cemetery is a mortuary. While one finds also obelisks and other forms as well as decorations with the gravestones in the old cemetery, the present orthodox adjustment of the municipality is recognizable also at the einförmigen and unadorned gravestones of the new cemetery.

On March 3, 1887 the old cemetery at Friedenthal was inaugurated. It borders on the west with the municipal cemetery. It is fully occupied with 366 graäbers and has not been used since 1942.
