New ceremonial hall at the Old Jewish Cemetery in Prague
P1100202.JPG
This building of the Jewish funeral brotherhood replaced the older building in 1903. It was built in Neo-Romanesque style. Here the dead were preparing for the grave, and the survivors were ritually cleaned.
The building served its original purpose for only 20 years. Then it was handed over to the Jewish Museum in Prague. There has been a permanent exhibition about Jewish funeral since then.
