Žid. hřbitov

The Jewish cemetery in Koloděje nad Lužnicí is located on the right side of the road to Chrášt'any and Bernartice. It has been protected as a cultural monument since 1963 with the registration number 32060/3-20.

It was founded after the Jews were accused of bringing the plague epidemic to Týn/Vlt. The cemetery has 270 tombstones from 1705-1942. The oldest tombstone marks the grave of Abraham; 11 refugees from Halych were buried here during the First World War; and the last person buried here was the butcher Karel Rubin in 1943. The most significant grave is the tumba of Rabbi Jacob Mahler, dating from 1867. After World War II, a memorial stone was erected in the cemetery to the Koloděj victims of the Holocaust. There was also a mortuary in the cemetery from 1900, but it was demolished after World War II. Currently, the Jewish Community in Prague is the owner of the cemetery and provides its ongoing maintenance. The cemetery grounds are locked; the key can be borrowed from the municipality.
