Up to 1864 in Liberec was not Jewish cemetery: all the dead were buried in a nearby Turnov. Finally, purchased a large plot in the city, which was taken for burial representatives of the Jewish community. In our time, the Jewish cemetery is under state protection. Now it's more of a historical object that is interesting from a tourist point of view than a sacred place.

The first tomb can be seen today: it's a grave 77-year-old former soldier Joachim Goldberger. He was buried on 20 April 1865.

Soon the cemetery area 500 sq. m. was not enough, and the city government has allowed to extend the final resting place of the local Jews. In 1886, together with the acquisition of new territory in the churchyard was built funeral hall in art Nouveau style and the place where stood the hearse. Hall, where relatives said goodbye to their dead, in the times of the Communist regime was used as a warehouse for coffee. In 2009 it was restored and made it the memorable complex about the victims of the Holocaust.

Next to the tomb of the first Jew buried in the cemetery, you can see the monument dedicated to those who died during the first world war. Generally, a stroll through the cemetery, you can see some more such memorials.

In the Jewish cemetery are the graves of the war refugees and 11 women who died in a concentration camp. Their bodies exhumed and reburied in Liberec.

A visit to the cemetery can not be called a pleasure walk, but the churchyard is a clear demonstration of local history.
