Centuries old Jewish tombstones found in Vienna

1. Various of recently unearthed gravestones
2. Close of Hebrew inscription on gravestone
3. Wide of gravestones
4. Wide of Raimund Fastenbauer, Secretary General of the Austrian Israelite Community
5. Mid of Hebrew tapestry, Fastenbauer in foreground
6. SOUNDBITE (German) Raimund Fastenbauer, Secretary General of the Austrian Israelite Community:
These are very important because they enable us to completely restore a Jewish cemetery with gravestones that are hundreds of years old. It is totally comparable to the significance of the Jewish cemetery in Prague.
7. Various of broken gravestone
8. Wide of cemetery
9. SOUNDBITE (German) Raimund Fastenbauer, Secretary General of the Austrian Israelite Community:
The community had been wiped out twice even before the Nazis. In 1670 the Jews were expelled from Vienna for the second time. And the cemetery dates from that time.
10. Various of gravestone
11. Various of Hebrew inscriptions on gravestone
12. Wide of gravestone lying on ground
STORYLINE:
Seventy years ago, Vienna's Nazi overlords gave the order to destroy the city's oldest Jewish cemetery.
They demanded that it be levelled and the tombstones attesting to centuries of Jewish existence there be destroyed.
Desperate to save their heritage, the city's shrinking Jewish community decided to act.
Defying the possibility of prison, deportation or execution, they buried the gravestones and kept them from Nazi hands.
Jewish leaders in the Austrian capital now say the long-lost stones have been rediscovered.
It's a find they say could transform a small obscure graveyard into one that rivals the significance of Prague's Jewish cemetery, the oldest known burial ground of its kind.
The cemetery has no name and is hard to find, with the only entrance through a city home for the elderly in Vienna's 9th district.
Weathered but restored gravestones poke through weedy, uncut grass, with faded Hebrew inscriptions.
But beneath the ground, Jewish leaders say, are other tombstones piled layer upon layer.
The cemetery dates back to the 16th century and had about 900 tombstones until 1938, when the Nazis came to power and gave vandals free reign to deface and destroy them.
Vienna's Jewish leaders say it's unclear exactly how many were buried by the small group of Viennese Jews determined to save their heritage from Nazi bulldozers.
They also say they have few further details of the act, with none of the participants surviving the Holocaust and their location unclear - until now.
After workers scored the ground with radar as part of restoration work, they say they are sure there are hundreds beneath the grass.
The 20 unearthed in the past few weeks have convinced officials they have a historically significant find, they said.
Raimund Fastenbauer, a senior official with Vienna's Austrian Israelite Community, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he believes many of the up to 600 missing stones are still below ground and partially or fully recoverable.
If so, he said, the find, is totally comparable to the significance of the Jewish cemetery in Prague, once the stones are restored and set up again.
While finding and restoring them is expected to last for years, more will likely be dug up in the next few weeks.
More than 185-thousand Jews lived in Vienna before Hitler's Germany annexed Austria in 1938.
Of the more than 65-thousand deported to Nazi death camps, only about two-thousand survived.
Most of the rest emigrated, with only about 25-thousand remaining by 1946, most of whom then left the country.
Today, there are an estimated 15-thousand Jews living in Austria, largely in Vienna.

THE OLD JEWISH CEMETERY PRAGUE

Hay que reseñar, además, que es uno de los cementerios judíos más antiguos de Europa y su primera lapida, entre las 12.000 que te podrás encontrar, data del año 1439. Muchos de los fallecidos eran apilados sobre otros, por la falta de espacio, y así han continuado hasta el año 1787, en que cesó su actividad.

Video of the Old Jewish Cemetery in Prague (Czech Republic), at least 600 years old, with some 12,000 grave stones visible over a dozen subterranean layers of tombs. While the Nazis usually destroyed and desecrated Jewish cemeteries, they preserved this site, expecting to convert it into a museum exhibit of an extinct race after all Jews had been exterminated.

Pinkas Synagogue and Old Jewish Cemetery , Prague

Pinkas Synagogue is dedicated to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust from Bohemia and Moravia; their names are inscribed on the walls of the main nave and adjoining areas. The interior of the synagogue comprises Memorial 77,297, which was designed and executed by the painters Václav Boštík and Jiří John (1923-1972) between 1954 and 1959. The memorial was closed in 1968, however, since the building was in an increasingly poor state of repair. After remaining closed for a long time, the building was eventually reconstructed and, following the collapse of the Communist regime, a project was launched to renovate the memorial, which reopened in 1996.

The text of the inscriptions was compiled from card indexes, which were drawn up shortly after the war on the basis of extant transport papers, registration lists and survivor's accounts. The names of Holocaust victims, together with their dates of birth and death, are inscribed on all the interior walls.

Pinkas Synagogue et Cimetière juif de Prague

Pinkas Synagogue est dédié aux victimes juives de l'Holocauste de la Bohême et de la Moravie; leurs noms sont inscrits sur les murs des principales zones nef et adjacentes. L'intérieur de la synagogue comprend Memorial 77297, qui a été conçu et exécuté par les peintres Václav Bostik et Jiří John (1923-1972) entre 1954 et 1959. Le mémorial a été fermé en 1968, cependant, puisque le bâtiment était dans un état de plus en plus pauvres de la réparation. Après être resté fermé pendant une longue période, le bâtiment a finalement été reconstruit et, suite à l'effondrement du régime communiste, un projet a été lancé pour rénover le monument, qui a rouvert en 1996.

Le texte des inscriptions a été compilé à partir des indices de cartes, qui ont été établis peu après la guerre sur la base des documents de transport existant, des listes d'inscription et les comptes de survivant. Les noms des victimes de l'Holocauste, ainsi que leurs dates de naissance et de mort, sont inscrits sur tous les murs intérieurs.

Save yourself the trip to CZ and the entry fee by enjoying the walkthrough I have made for you. Thanks for watching and enjoy.

Old Jewish Cemetery in Prague (Starý židovský hřbitov)

Old Jewish Cemetery was founded in the 15th century. There are about 12,000 tombstones in the cemetery. ????
During the more than three centuries in which it was in active use, the cemetery continually struggled with the lack of space. For this reason, there are places where as many as 12 layers now exist!
That’s why the surface of the cemetery is raised several meters higher than the surrounding streets; retaining walls are necessary to hold the soil and the graves in place.
