JEWISH CEMETERY, PLOVDIV


Plovdiv Jewish cemetery

The old Jewish cemetery, like the cemeteries of all other minority groups in Plovdiv, was destroyed in the first years after 1878 when a new urban plan for Plovdiv was adopted. Since then Jews have used a section of the municipal cemetery. It is next to the walled-off and largely abandoned Turkish cemetery. It is unfenced and unguarded, but its north side has been protected by a brick wall, erected by Shalom, to separate it from a local Gypsy settlement. Most of the marble and granite tombstones are still standing but some have been vandalised.
