Introduction

The Jewish Quarter in the Czech capital Prague is home to Josefstadt, which boasts a historic cemetery - the Old Jewish Cemetery. Built in the first half of the 15th century, it is one of the oldest Jewish cemeteries in the world. Covering about one hectare, it contains over 12,000 gravestones, including styles from late Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and Rococo periods. Step by step, the Old Jewish Cemetery silently records the past departures and hardships, leaving visitors with a sense of historical weight and sedimentation.
