Dive into the past

Magical places located deep in the woods, at the end of towns and villages… Jews often received the worst places for its municipal cemeteries. Most synagogues were burned, others flooded by water tank, the cemetery boards were used as paving – into buildings, sidewalks or streams. From cemeteries were created gardening colonies or they were ‘rescued’ by lying in the woods so hard to reach places that no one gets to them. Thanks to this they remain beautiful adornment of nature. Some places were lucky – local volunteers from Germany found them and began to reconstruct and maintain. Ironically, they are mainly smaller municipalities – like Drmoul, Hroznětín, Kynšperk and more. We want to thank the ones who try restoring these places, honoring our former compatriots and seeking no political and economic causes – they do it just from the heart, because they know that it is correct!
This website is also intended to serve as a guide for those who want to participate in the documentation and reconstruction of these places and help Jews from all over the world discover more about the country of their ancestors.
