NOTES:
-
Prior to having their own burial site, the cemetery in Walsdorf was used by this Jewish community.
-
The cemetery is enclosed by a wire-mesh fence and a thick evergreen hedge. There is an iron gate. Only the foundations of the old mortuary together with the stone mortuary table remain in place.
-
Desecration took place in 1938, when most gravestones were uprooted.
