While Europe’s soil was drenched with Jewish blood, a group of courageous Jewish men turned their forced labor into a heroic effort and shoveled mounds of earth to hide what they had been instructed to destroy — the gravestones of one of Europe’s oldest existing Jewish cemeteries.
It is difficult to encapsulate within a few pages this incredible story — a story perhaps like no other, of a cemetery like no other.
This is a story of survival and revival.
