The Jewish Section of the Central Cementary is an eternal reminder of Vienna's disreputable Nazi past. Until the 1930ies moore than 200,000 Jews were living in Vienna, contributing greatly to the social, economic, cultural and scientific life of the city. Most of them were expelled or murdered under the Nazi regime. After the war, nobody cared for the graves in the Jewish section of the Central Cementary, and when I first visited it in the middle of the 1980ies, it looked like a jungle. More recently, several initiatives have engaged the renovation, but still a big part is in rather bad condition. See more images from this excurdion in my "Central Cementary" galery
