Black-and-white photographic postcard of a monument in the Old Jewish Cemetery in Prague. During the sanitization of Josefov in 1903, the Jewish community was forced to yield a part of the cemetery to the construction of a new road (today’s 17th November Street). Exhumed remains were buried in another part of the cemetery, on a Nefel mound in front of the Klausen Synagogue. This monument erected by the Chevra Kadisha describes and remembers these events.
