Description

At the back of the cemetery of Dilbeek is a special place. The deceased come from Russia, Turkey or Germany. They are called Cohen or Fleischacker. The inscriptions are in French, Yiddish or Hebrew. This is the Jewish cemetery of Dilbeek. In 1944, the Israelite community of Brussels was given this place to bury its dead. But many of the oldest graves have only one stone. They are symbolic memorial sites for family members who did not survive the war terror. They are also commemorated today. You can see this in the pebbles that visitors place on the tombstones: a Jewish custom that shows that the dead person has not been forgotten.
