História židovského cintorína v Bratislave

Rok, strany: 2003, 356 - 372

The article deals with a history of an old Jewish cemetery in Bratislavc. It examines several issues: first the dating of the cemetery back to the 17th century, then the period between 1942 and 1944, when most of the tombstones here were destroyed except for the so-called Rabbis’ District, and finally the fate of the preserved graves after WWII. A special attention is given to road works when the tramway line crossing the cemetery was diverted from there and the new Chatam Sofer Memorial was constructed according to the rules of Orthodox Judaism. As directly supervised by a mažgiach ( religious supervisor), these works are very interesting for ethnology. A special section is devoted to epitaphs copied from the preserved tombs and later discovered in a German translation. This material little known in Slovakia enables us to make a picture of the people buried here and the community as a whole. Moreover, it explains the way of thinking and poetry of the Jews in 17th-19th centuries.
