The crematorium.  Everyone gets cremated.

Getting water to wash off the monument at Gabi's family plot.

Washing it off.  Whoever comes to visit keeps it cleaned off.



Some nicely decorated plots.

Just showing how the various urns are kept.

They are so beautiful that it looks like a garden.

This is a wall of glass lockers for people without plots.


Close up of one of the glass lockers.

Memorial wall for those without remains. 

This is Gabi's great grandmother who died at Auschwitz.

These are the stones that were transferred from the old Jewish cemetery.

Tells about the stones being moved.  Ask Gabi to translate when you see her.

This Jewish part of the cemetery is locked to prevent vandalism but it is striking the contrast to the color in the other cemetery that is separated by a wall.

We managed to find our way in and out of the Jewish cemetery without too much trouble.......

This plot had such an elaborate marker stone. It looks like a circus tent in the background but we weren't sure.

  1. OK - this sounds weird but the pic of Gabi over the wall at the cemetary was AMAZING! That one should be framed.
