The Jewish cemetery is one of the most important traces of this community to have survived to the present day. The preserved graves, many of which still bear readable epitaphs and symbolic decorative motifs, point to the former owners of this place. They can be a source of information about members of the community and aspects of their culture related to the veneration of the dead and the sepulchral art. The role of the cemetery as a historical source is particularly important when the community it used to serve no longer exists. However, while being a carrier of information about the local Jewish community, not only is it a memento of this group, but it also constitutes a part of the town’s history that can be considered the heritage of its modern inhabitants}, type={Text}, title={Cmentarz żydowski w Bochni: ślad po dawnych mieszkańcach oraz element lokalnego dziedzictwa}, URL={http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/Content/235568/270705.pdf}, keywords={cemetery, heritage, Jewish community}, }
