The Old Jewish Cemetery (Czech: Starý židovský hřbitov, German: Alter Jüdischer Friedhof) lies in the Josefov, the Jewish Quarter of Prague in the Czech Republic. It was in use from the early 15th century (the oldest preserved tombstone, the one of Avigdor Kara, dates back to 1439) until 1787. Its ancestor was a cemetery called "The Jewish Garden", which was found in archaeological excavations under the Vladislavova street, New Town.

So I'll be honest , I discussed the book "Prague cemetery" by Umberto Eco, with a swapper and I got this postcard. I hated it but now it's probably one of my coolest cards with its own story ,so I started a Cemetery collection just to see if I get anymore cards like this. After all when I travel I do have a morbid curiosity of visiting tombs and places related to death (ie Pompeii). Thank you Zdenek for this strange card!
