From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Centuries? Centuries to the placese have to be connected with establishement or with what?--Juan de Vojníkov 19:44, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Have added a picture of the cemetery and will expand this article a little. However i am not a native to the City and input from anyone living in Prague would be good Collieman 13:10, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WWII Ghetto?

I don't quite understand. Were Prague's Jews forced to live in a Josefov ghetto during the war, or were they all sent to Terezin, or... ? -- TheMightyQuill 17:10, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

The Josefov ghetto dates to the middle ages and was dis-established well before the NAZI occupation. As it happens my Jewish great-grandmother's family still lived in Josefov under the occupation as the family plan printing business was located there but I don't know whether or not it was used as a ghetto by the NAZIs. She was transported to Terezin in 1943 (and martyred at Auschwitz later that year) along with many other Czech Jews. I hope this helps answer your question. BroadArrow 23:35, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gallery

Should we put these pictures onto wiki commons and then add the link ? Or maybe leave as is? Collieman 13:30, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
