Tallinn Magasini tn. Jewish cemetery


levinov.jpg

Opened in 1790 (N. Gens). One can see a fenced Jewish cemetery on the 1856 Tallinn map. According to N. Gens the fences were made in 1845. On 1.10.1910 the cemetery was officially closed as the new cemetery was opened in Rahumäe. Still the last burial was around 1936. "Waba Maa" wrote on 1.6.1930 that the cemetery is now officially closed. The last burial was that of Moses Biek on 25.5.1930.

Schaje Levinovitsch's mausoleum, which was designed by the architect Jacques Rosenbaum was completed in the autumn of 1910. The cemetery (with mausoleum) was demolished in 1967 when a car park was built on that place.

Rahumäe tee 5, Tallinn
Built in 1909 and officially opened in 1911. The wooden burial chapel (Ohel) was built around 1910. Renovated in 2005.
During one night in 1973 the Holocaust memorial was built (it was not allowed for many years as "we do not need special memorials for Jewish people"). In 2009 it was moved to a new place near the entrance.

People buried in this cemetery can be found here

Haapsalu cemetery


M_001.jpg

Before the WWII the Jewish cemetery was situated near the Lihula maantee, where is now Metsakalmistu (Forest cemetery). Even in 1950's one could see the remains of the graves.
Jewish cemetery mentioned in 1893 (Estländisches Verkehrs- und Adresbuch für 1893/1894. Riga 1893).

Haapsalu juudi kalmistu asus enne sõda Lihula mnt ääres, kus praegu Metsakalmistu ala. Veel 1950ndatel olnud seal näha hauamärkide jäänuseid kabeli esisel alal, kus praegu asub muruplats. Seega kadus juudi kalmistu Teise maailmasõja ajal ja järel ning hauatähiseid sellest ajast ei teata olevat. (Asta Veenpere, Läänemaa muuseum.)
In 1881 were 36 Jews
In 1889 - 17
In 1890 - 3 Jewish praying places (all from Энциклопедический словарь Ф.А. Брокгауза и И.А. Ефрона)

Kuressaare (Kudjape) cemetery


sa_001.jpg

Jewish cemetery was part of today's Kudjape cemetery near Kuressaare, founded in 1780. No evidence found. It is known from the documents that all religions were burried at this cemetery.
The soldiers of WWII from both sides (soviet and german) are also burried there. No estonian Jewish names among the red army fighters burried.

Väikene juudi surnuaiaosa oli Kudjape (Kuressaare) kalmistul, kuid sellest ei ole praktiliselt midagi alles. (Põhiliselt likvideeriti see ilmselt Saksa ja hiljem samasse Nõukogude sõjaväekalmistu rajamisega.) Olavi Pesti - Kuressaare muuseum.
In 1881 there were 111 Jews in Kuressaare (census)
In 1887 - 80 (Brokhaus& Efron)
In 1931 - 35 (census)

Tartu old cemetery


IMG_0409.JPG

Tartu first cemetery (1846) - Raadi, Surnuaia t. The cemetery is situated near the entrance to the Vana Jaani kalmistu (Old Jaani cemetery). Already marked on the area map of 1846-1850 (EAA.995.1.6544). According to K. Jokton 10 families got permission to bury their relatives in 1859. On the 1876 map the cemetery is already four times larger.

Used information from the register of Tartu cultural assets (http://www.tartu.ee)

"Rajamisaeg: 19.s. I pool
Asukoht: Raadi
Kirjeldus: Asub Vana- Jaani kalmistu peasissepääsu lähedal. Praegu võsastunud ja mahajäetud. 1970. aastatel oli arh. U. Tiirmaa teatel alles kaks hauakivi. 2002. a. kevadel on säilinud üks hallist graniidist hauakivi.
Juudi kalmistu asukoht on märgitud Vana- Jaani kalmistu plaanil 1846- 1850.a. ( EAA F. 995, N1, SÜ 6544, l 4 ). K. Joktoni andmetel said 10 juudi perekonda linnalt Raadi kalmistu kaguküljele matmiseks maad 1859. a. Esimene sinna maetu oli külakaupmees Wainrok. 1870. a. oli vahepeal laiendatud kalmistu ümbritsetud väravaga aiaga. 1876.a. plaanil on kalmistu juba umbes neli korda suuremana näidatud. 1900. aastaga dateeritud plaanil on juba olemas ka Roosi ja Jänese t. nurgale rajatud juudi surnuaed ( vt. register )."

"Juudi kalmistu". Puhja vald, Mäeselja küla.


l_501.jpg

This area is called "Juudi kalmistu" (Jewish cemetery). One can see the remains of the old stone border of the cemetery. No gravestones are seen except that of the local Rev. (probably). However, the name of the place and the story of the local resident Aleksander Andreiasjan suggest that it was indeed a Jewish cemetery (or Jewish part of the local cemetery). Aleksander clearly remembers the star of David and Hebrew letters on the stones 20-25 years ago.
