Cimetière juif de Graz, Jewish cemetery in Graz, Austria.
Description
The Jewish cemetery in Graz is a burial ground with gravestones and memorial markers arranged according to the burial customs of this faith community. The graves display names and inscriptions of people who have rested here for more than 150 years.
History
The burial ground opened in 1865, after the Jewish population had been forbidden to settle permanently in Styria for centuries. This establishment marked a turning point when the community could finally create its own burial place.
Culture
The cemetery carries a name that reflects its role as a gathering place for the Jewish community. Visitors encounter a landscape shaped by the customs of a faith community, and its meaning to residents remains visible today.
Practical
The grounds are manageable and easy to walk through, with marked paths between the graves. Visitors should wear appropriate clothing and show respect for the character of the place as a resting site.
Did you know?
The cemetery survived the destruction of 1938 and the following years, while almost all other traces of Jewish life in Graz disappeared. This survival makes it today a singular testimony to a lost community.
