Until 1864 in Liberec was no Jewish cemetery: all of the dead were buried in a nearby Turnov. Finally, it was purchased by a large plot in the city, which was taken for burial in the Jewish community. In our time, the Jewish cemetery is under state protection. Now it's more historical object, interesting from a tourist point of view, the sacred place.

The first burial can be seen now is the grave of 77-year-old former soldier Joachim Goldberger. He was buried April 20, 1865.

Soon, the cemetery is 500 square meters. It was not enough, and the city authorities have enhanced the final resting place of the local Jews. In 1886, together with the acquisition of new territory in the churchyard was built a funeral hall in Art Nouveau style and a place where there were hearses. The hall where the relatives bid farewell to the dead, during the communist regime was used as a warehouse for coffee. In 2009, it was restored and made it a memorial complex, which tells of the victims of the Holocaust.

Next to the tomb of the first Jew, was buried in the cemetery, you can see the monument dedicated to those who died during the First World War. Generally, a stroll through the cemetery, you can see a few more of these memorials.

At the Jewish cemetery the graves of war refugees and 11 women, died in a concentration camp. Their bodies were exhumed and reburied in Liberec.

A visit to the cemetery can not be called pleasure trip, but this graveyard - a clear demonstration of local history.
