Kállósemjén — the Jewish cemetery

Jewish section of the municipal cemetery, 45-ös utca, Kállósemjén, Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg, Hungary

  • IT IS INSIDE THE TOWN'S CHRISTIAN CEMETERY, as its own section, on 45-ös utca. There is no fence around the Jewish part and none is needed — go to the municipal cemetery and find the section.
  • Twenty-five matzevos, from 1898 to 1941. The ground is well kept and looks to have been renovated; expect wildflowers rather than undergrowth. There is no ohel here and no structure of any kind.
  • This is one of two Jewish burial grounds in the village. It was in use from at least 1872.
  • Kállósemjén is next to Nagykálló and is almost always reached from it — the Kaliver Rebbe's ohel is ten minutes up the road, and that is what brings people to this corner of Szabolcs.
  • Ninety-four Jews of Kállósemjén were deported on the twenty-second of April 1944, most of them to Auschwitz. Twenty-one survived the war.
