ALTER JÜDISCHER TEIL - 1. Gruppe - Zentralfriedhof - Führung mit Ilse & Georg

Dear Meetupers!

**UPDATE:** **I'm only going in the 2nd group!**
**Ilse & Georg welcome you and have the list of participants!**

In keeping with the season, this time we are devoting ourselves to the Jewish part of the Central Cemetery.
We were in the Jewish part many, many years ago - but not with Ilse & Georg.

Then for everyone who is still hungry:
[Lunch at CONCORDIA SCHLÖSSL, Sat, Nov 9, 2024, 12:30 PM | Meetup](https://www.meetup.com/wien-erleben/events/302269306/)
Participants of the tour should also put themselves on the waiting list - I will then get you in.

*You are welcome to book another guest!*

**A magical place to linger and remember, Jewish funeral rites and grave design then/now, a visit to Rabbi Isaak Mannheimer, Gerhard Bronner and the author of “Aunt Jolesch or The Decline of the West in Anecdotes” and many others**.

The Central Cemetery is considered a place where **people of all denominations** can find a resting place. There is a part of the cemetery here that is considered to be the quietest, most natural and most beautiful: the Old Jewish Cemetery.

On this tour we will show you **various grave sites of well-known and lesser-known personalities**. We will explain **Jewish burial rites and Jewish grave design**, as well as retell the **life stories** of certain personalities.

Also the sad history of this part of the cemetery, which was given to the Jewish community of Vienna in 1877, but **expropriated during the Nazi era**, **partially destroyed** by aerial bombs of World War II and also more recently desecrated by **acts of vandalism** became, we will tell.

We will encounter many graves and their stories, the quiet melancholy of the Old Jewish Cemetery and perhaps one or two **deer** in this special place, which is looked after by the **Israelite Community**.
