The site, located beside the Christian cemetery, preserves five tombstones dating from the late 19th to the early 20th century.
The fencing of this cemetery, which preserves the memory of the town’s vanished Jewish community, was made possible with the support of the Auswärtiges Amt (German Federal Foreign Office) and the assistance of Adrian Besa, President of the Satu Mare Jewish community.
Jews settled in Corund by the mid-19th century, though the community never grew beyond a dozen families. In May 1944, the Jews of Corund were deported via the Satu Mare ghetto to Auschwitz. Today, the Yad Vashem database lists around 40 Holocaust victims who were born or lived in Corund before the war.
