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.
