Hajdúböszörmény — the Jewish cemetery

Jewish cemetery, opposite 51 Külső-Hadházi utca, Hajdúböszörmény, Hajdú-Bihar, Hungary

• IT IS OPPOSITE NUMBER 51 KÜLSŐ-HADHÁZI UTCA — on the other side of the road from the houses, not among them. There is a concrete and wrought-iron fence along the street and an entrance building.
• THREE OHELS STAND ON THIS GROUND. One of them and the entrance building both need urgent work; the rest of the cemetery is large and well kept.
• THE GRAVES ARE NUMBERED, which for four hundred and twenty-four matzevos is the difference between finding a kever and walking rows. The oldest is from 1860 and the newest from 2007 — this ground was still taking burials this century.
• The chevra kadisha here was founded in 1846. A Holocaust memorial stands in the cemetery: the kehilla numbered nine hundred and thirty-four in 1941, was put into a ghetto on the twenty-seventh of May 1944, and was deported between the twenty-fifth and twenty-eighth of June — some to Strasshof in Austria, some to Auschwitz.
