Old Jewish Cemetery Description (Local Name: Stary zidovsky hrbitov)

The Old Jewish Cemetery (Stary zidovsky hrbitov) in Prague is unique primarily for it's high density of graves. At the time, the Czech government did not allow Jewish people to bury their dead outside of this designated area. As a result graves were dug to accommodate 12 bodies set vertically, with tombstones placed immediately in front of the one previous. The Old Jewish Cemetery contains about 12,000 tombstones and up to 100,000 graves all crammed into this one small area. The graveyard was used from the 15th to the 18th Centuries.

We call this one "Blinding the Metro Driver by Travis S. Wyatt" He made me wait until the train was "this close" so we could get a shot. Poor driver. Then we had to sit in the car directly behind the engineer. I was worried he was going to come out and whoop some ass! :)
