                           The Old Jewish Cemetery




The Old Jewish Cemetery lies in the Jewish Quarter of Prague. It was in use from
the early 15th century. Burials took place there until 1787. The number of grave
stones and number 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.
CZECH REPUBLIC
                             The Old Jewish Cemetery




According to Jewish laws ,Jews must not destroy Jewish graves and in particular to
remove the tombstone. This meant that when the cemetery ran out of space and
purchasing extra land was impossible, more layers of soil were placed on the
existing graves, the old tombstones taken out and placed upon the new layer of
soil. This explains why the tombstones in the cemetery are placed so closely to
each other. This resulted in the cemetery having 12 layers of graves.
CZECH REPUBLIC
                     The Pinkas Synagogue
