Old Jewish Cemetery- Prague, Czech Republic Like most of - TopicsExpress



          

Old Jewish Cemetery- Prague, Czech Republic Like most of Prague’s Jewish Quarter this cemetery is a museum of a population long gone. The Jewish population of Prague had minimal space where they were allowed to bury their dead; as a result bodies were buried literally on top of one another, resulting in almost twelve layers of graves. The tombstones, some of which date to the fifteenth century are a tumbling clash, piled on one another haphazardly. It’s an amazing site to see. Creative Commons License photo credit: kyle simourd
