In search of a stone
28 Jews lie buried in Brisbane’s Mt Gravatt Cemetery with no headstone marking their identity.
Mt Gravatt Cemetery – Jewish section
J-Wire prints a list of those for whom there is no headstone and asks if anyone can offer assistance they should contact the Brisbane Chevra Kadisha or email J-Wire at [email protected].
The BCK’s Michael Solomon said: “It is an important cause for us to find families of the deceased in the list in the hope that they are able to finalize the resting place of their deceased family member.”
