Everlasting Stone

Lodz, Poland

Next we made our way to the Jewish Cemetery, where many Jews from the ghetto were buried and that is still functional today. The gravestones were extravagant. I have never seen so much marble or mausoleums in any Jewish cemetery. It was beautiful. We also visited the graves of four Polish Jews who were a part of Bnei Akiva and were murdered after the war by Poles while transporting supplies. We sang the B"A anthem together and it was really inspiring.
