Kracow
The Rema (acronym for Rabbi Moses Isserles) Synagogue -- located in Kazimierz, the Jewish quarter of Krak—w, Poland -- was founded in 1553.
The cemetery was used until 1799. Rabbi Moses Ben Israel Isserles -- the Rema, for whom the synagogue is named -- is buried in this cemetery.
Before World War II, thousands of Polish Jews visited his grave every year on the anniversary of his death. After World War II, the cemetery was restored and the pieces of broken headstones which could not be matched were used to make the memorial cemetery wall.
