The Jewish cemetery in Subotica

Groblje je nastalo ubrzo nakon što su prvi Jevreji stigli do Subotice 1777. godine. Zemljište se prostire na jednom hektaru i 141 kvadratnom metru i podeljeno je u tri dela. Najstariji deo čine grobnice sahranjenih do kraja Drugog svetskog rata. Ovaj deo je u vrlo lošem stanju. Drugi deo čini prostor na kome su pokojnici sahranjivani između dva svetska rata. Ovo je najveći deo sa velikim brojem nadgrobnih spomenika koji imaju arhitektonsku vrednost. U trećem delu koji se nalazi na zapadnoj strani sahranjivani su mrtvi čiji su leševi trebali biti premešteni posle Drugog svetskog rata. U tom delu nalazi se spomenik žrtvama fašističkog terora. Budućnost groblja veoma je neizvesna jer nijedna institucija ne doprinosi njegovom održavanju. Groblje ima istorijski i arhitektonski značaj i zbog njegove materijalne vrednosti, treba mu se posvetiti veća pažnja. Registar koji je započet 1900. godine je očuvan i izrađen hronološki. Upisano je prezime, ime, datum smrti, datum sahrane, red i broj groba.It was set up soon after the first Jews reached Subotica in 1777. The ground covers one hectare and 141 square meters. Three parts can be clearly discerned. The oldest part is where the deads were deposited until the end of WWI. This part is in very poor shape today. The second part is the one where burials were performed between the two world wars. This is the largest part and there are many such gravestones in it that have an architectonical value. The third part is on the western side where deads started to be interred after WWII. In this part is the monument to the victims of fascist terror. The future of the cemetery is far from being certain as no institution contributes to its maintenance. As this cemetery is of historical and architectonical importance and has its material value, too, greater attention would be in order. The register which was started in 1900 is preserved. In it the recording is chronological. The family name, the name, the date of death, the date of burial, the number of both the row and the grave are entered
