In 1857 Gura
Humorului had a Jewish population of 190 souls. In that
year also the Jewish cemetery was established. That
cemetery was active until 1920.
In 1920 the "New" cemetery was established right near
the "Old" one, and it is still open today.
This cemetery (the old and the new) has about 2060
graves.
Stones beautifully cared for, many in German.
The new part was renovated recently by The Association
of Gura - Humora Jewish Community Descendants.
I would welcome any photos of Gura Humorului Jewish
cemetery and tombstones (with transcripts of the
inscriptions if possible) to use on this page.

- 1930
"SARA SCHMIDT Mutter des Kammersängers JOSEPH
SCHMIDT gest. am 31./V.1950"
Joseph Schmidt famous Song:
Ein Lied
geht um die Welt!
Ein Lied,
das Euch gefällt!
Die
Melodie erreicht die Sterne,
Jeder von
uns hört sie so gerne!
Von Liebe
singt das Lied,
Von Treue
singt das Lied,
Und es
wird nie verklingen,
Man wer
es ewig singen.
Flieht
auch die Zeit.
Das Lied
bleibt in Ewigkeit.

If someone
will meet you,
and ask you,
what this stone is?
You will say!
Soldier from Russia found here a

Fell robbed from vehement enemy….
Indeed
his name disappears,
but in
front of GOD he will
