As Europe’s largest active Jewish cemetery, it is an essential historical resource, maintaining painstaking records despite having fewer graves than others in Europe.<br>

In the last few years, I have been documenting many cemeteries around Berlin. This nameless project started during the COVID-19 pandemic. I started going for walks in the most peaceful place I could imagine, which happened to be a cemetery. I often visited the cemeteries around Sudstern and, from that, started going to different ones around the city.<br>
<br>
For a while, I have wanted to visit a non-Christian cemetery. Still, due to the opening times, it was always a bit tricky to see any of the Jewish cemeteries in Berlin. In late January 2025, after a dentist appointment, I had time to explore Weissensee. I decided to visit the Jewish Cemetery there. <br>
