Old Jewish Cemetery

In the city of Prague, Czech Republic, stands the old "Jewish Cemetery" in Josefov, the former Jewish ghetto. This cemetery was used from the mid-15th century till the end of the 18th century. Historical records indicate that about 100,000 Jews are buried in this small plot of land, with their graves layered 12 deep in some places. Reportedly, even though the Nazis made it a policy to destroy Jewish cemeteries during World War II, Hitler (himself) ordered that this cemetery be left intact, since he was planning to build a Jewish museum in Prague after all the Jews in Europe had been exterminated. Standing here is quite disturbing when one considers the madness of Hitler, and the terrible sufferings he instigated.
