Waldheim Jewish Cemeteries


Cemetery #51: Warsaw Benevolent Association

This gate has been destroyed - one of Waldheim's greatest aesthetic losses in recent years. In its place is a modern chain-link fence, with no traces of the original remaining.

The Warsaw gate was unique - nothing else at Waldheim was of a design remotely like this. Its loss is a tragedy, and this once-proud section is now indistinguishable from its neighbors.

This photo was taken about 1996.
