Prague Jewish Cemetery

Saw this on youtube yesterday havent seen it on here so i thought id make it my first thread

Not sure if iv put the pic on right.

Some info from wiki:

The Old Jewish Cemetery (Czech: Starý židovský hřbitov, German: Alter Jüdischer Friedhof) lies in the Josefov, the Jewish Quarter of Prague in the Czech Republic. It was in use from the early 15th century (the oldest preserved tombstone, the one of Avigdor Kara, dates back to 1439) until 1787. Its ancestor was a cemetery called "The Jewish Garden", which was found in archaeological excavations under the Vladislavova street, New Town.
The numbers of grave stones and numbers of people buried there are uncertain, because there are layers of tombs. However, it has been estimated that there are approximately 12,000 tombstones presently visible, and there may be as many as 100,000 burials in all.



so yeh...first post...be nice.

Re: Prague Jewish Cemetery

I'm surprised the Nazis didn't clear the headstones outta there in WWII.
