CEMETERY OF DRAMA

CEMETERY OF DRAMA 
 
General View of the Cemetery Area
 

Historical Data:  Drama has two Jewish cemeteries.  Today, only one Jewish family lives in Drama.  The
Jewish Community of Drama was dissolved after the Holocaust. 
Area/Capacity:   The largest cemetery is 934 sq. m. and the other is 840 sq. m.   
Actual Condition:  Both cemeteries are fenced.  Part of the surrounding wall has collapsed.  Corrosion has
damaged many of the tombs. 
Necessary Restoration Works:  The cemeteries need to be cleaned up, and the tombs need conservation
works.  Internal paths as well as the surrounding wall have to be constructed. 
Estimated Cost:   41 million drs. ($117,000 US)
