La Tablada Cemetery, Jewish cemetery in La Tablada, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina.
La Tablada Cemetery is a large burial ground in Buenos Aires Province with organized sections that hold many graves and memorial structures. The site is divided into different areas, each serving specific family groups and communities that have been interred there over many decades.
In 1930 a decree by President José Félix Uriburu authorised the Sephardic Socorros Mutuos community's cemetery at La Tablada. In 1935 the Jevrá Kedushá acquired most of the grounds, and the Ashkenazi cemetery was officially inaugurated in 1936. It is now run by the Asociación Mutual Israelita Argentina (AMIA).
The cemetery is run by AMIA, the Asociación Mutual Israelita Argentina. Its five memorials honour the fallen of Israel's wars, the victims of the 1992 Israeli embassy and 1994 AMIA bombings, Holocaust victims and survivors, and Jewish victims of the 1976–1983 dictatorship. A monument to the Warsaw Ghetto fighters was added in 2008.
The cemetery lies in La Tablada, in the Greater Buenos Aires conurbation, and is reached by road. A burial search facility is available for locating a particular grave or creating a memorial tribute. The grounds hold over 150,000 graves, so identifying the section beforehand saves time.
Several individuals buried here made important contributions to Argentine society in fields like law, arts, and intellectual life. Visiting their graves offers insight into how the Jewish community shaped cultural and professional spheres in the country.
