Within the cemetery’s 196-meter perimeter, approximately 150 tombstones have been preserved. At the same time, only one section of the original surrounding wall has remained. In recent days, ESJF completed the installation of the rest of the fence, carefully following the style of the original structure.
This cemetery was in use until the local Jewish community was wiped out in the Shoah. It’s located in the Vojvodina region of northern Serbia, which used to be home to many small Jewish communities. Today, ESJF focuses much of its work in this very region.
The fencing of the Kula Jewish cemetery was funded by the Auswärtiges Amt (German Federal Foreign Office) and made possible with the support of our partners at the Federation of Jewish Communities in Serbia, especially our country coordinator, Ladislav Trajer.
