The Jewish cemetery (Europe's largest) covers 14 hectares and houses some 180,000 gravestones. Founded and consecrated in 1892, it escaped the ravages and damage of war. Some of the tombs are architectural masterpieces, while parts of the cemetery have been abandoned, creating a unique atmosphere. Next door is the ghetto field, where some 45,000 victims of the Nazis are buried, including 800 Jews forced to dig their own graves.
