Mount Hope Holocaust Archive
Commemorating those who were victims of the Holocaust and are buried in Mount Hope Cemetery.
Holocaust Archive
The Holocaust is the name given to the systematic extermination of nearly six million Jews that was perpetrated by Nazi Germany and its collaborators during World War II. The Friends of Mount Hope Cemetery wish to create an appropriate way to memorialize those individuals who survived or died in the Holocaust and are buried in Mount Hope Cemetery. The most appropriate way to begin this project is to collect the names of those whose graves or cenotaphs are located within Mount Hope. Using the resources available from the Center for Holocaust Awareness and Information (CHAI) of the Jewish Community Federation, cross-referenced with the burial records of Mount Hope Cemetery we have developed an initial list of names whom we wish to remember. When available, we have provided names, birth and death dates, locale of death, images of gravestone or cenotaphs, and burial locations in the cemetery.
