When the ESJF team surveyed the site some time ago, it became clear that it urgently needed protection. The cemetery sits within an active municipal Christian burial ground, which is continuing to expand.
The Jewish cemetery in Császló has been in existence since at least the 1840s and is marked on the 1894 cadastral map. Fourteen headstones survive today, dating from 1843 to 1930.
According to Yad Vashem records, around twenty Jews were born in, or lived in, Császló before WWII.
The fencing of the Jewish cemetery in Császló was made possible thanks to the financial support of the Auswärtiges Amt (German Federal Foreign Office), the help of our partners at the Federation of Hungarian Jewish Communities (MAZSIHISZ-Magyarországi Zsidó Hitközségek Szövetsége), and especially our country coordinator, Mária Baranyi.
