Only way in is through the synagogue which was closed on saturday. But there is an opening on the back alley where u get a glimpse of cemetery.

A disgrace. Not maintained at all. Letters left to blow away, graves hidden by weeds and grass. The money to enter is not going to maintenance. Shame.

The only real claim to fame that this cemetery has is that it is old. It was began during the renaissance era, this is true. But, it is not a scenic place, the graves are not much to look at and you have to pay an entry fee to go in. This is the only cemetery I have ever heard of where one must pay to enter. Once you spend your money you realize that there is nothing there is not much to look at, except maybe the wall lined with pieces of graves destroyed by the Germans during WW2.

The Rabbis graves are well maintained. Unfortunately other areas of the cemetery have fallen into disrepair.

You need to know a bit about the importance of this magical place within Jewish history. The Rabonim (Rabbis) and other important scholars that are buried here have been astoundingly important in their contributions to Jewish learning. That makes this a holy place.

Very moving place! You can get an idea of what we lost in the Holocaust.
How the destroyed Jewish world was rich in spirit.
In the other hand, you can just pray and remember. Don't forget!!
