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.

The Jüdische cemetery of Schüttorf is located at the Samernsche Strasse  in a small forest. It was used in the 17th century for burials. It still has 19 gravestones today. Jews settled in Schüttorf probably as early as 1700. The community always had only a few Jewish families. They belonged to the synagogue community of Bad Bentheim.

There are 50 gravestones in the cemetery. The memorial stone was erected by Mottel Schwarz, a survivor of the Shoah.

The cemetery is located on Görlitzer Straße (B 99), on the northöeastern edge of the city. Coming from Görlitz you cross a traffic circle with the turnoff to the B178 (to Löbau and Bautzen). Immediately behind it on the right (western) side of the road is the cemetery.

A Jewish cemetery must have existed in Schermbeck already in the middle of the 17th century, in the church records of the Protestant church several Jews are mentioned who were buried in Schermbeck.

It is not clear whether it was the same cemetery that exists today at the „Bösenberg“. The present cemetery is located in a residential area. There are 31 rather plain stones, also two memorial stones for people who were murdered in camps.
