Old Jewish Cemetery, Baku, Azerbaijan
The old Jewish cemetery in Baku (Bakı, באקו), Azerbaijan (אזרבייג'ן, Azərbaycan).
בית קברות הישן בבאקו אזרבייג'ן.
Yəhudi qəbiristanlığı baku Azərbaycan
Description
This cemetery is no longer in use, but is filled with family names famous to Azeris, Mountain Jews, and the world. It was too large to explore in a single visit and had no discernable chronology to its layout, nor was it clear if there were different sections for the different Jewish groups who have inhabited Baku.
