Jewish cemetery in Dobruška

The cemetery contains numerous gravestones with Hebrew inscriptions and traditional Jewish symbols carved into sandstone slabs across its grounds.

Dating from 1688, the cemetery served the Jewish community until 1942, when many residents were deported to concentration camps during World War II.

The cemetery features Gothic-Renaissance style tombstones that demonstrate the artistic techniques and religious practices of Czech Jewish communities through centuries.

Visitors need to contact the local museum to access the cemetery grounds and the ceremonial funeral hall located next to the burial site.

Volunteers maintain this historic site, preventing sandstone erosion and clearing vegetation to preserve hundreds of original tombstones from the 17th century.
