Bucharest Sephardic Jewish Cemetery

The Bucharest Sephardic Jewish Cemetery (Romanian: Cimitirul evreiesc Sefard din București) is one of three active Jewish cemeteries that still exist in Bucharest.

It has an area between 4 and 5 hectares large, and contains 10,300 graves.

[3][4] The cemetery is home to many tombstones, among which are some transferred from the former Jewish cemetery on Sevastopol Street, which was the oldest Jewish cemetery in Bucharest that was abolished during the Holocaust under the Ion Antonescu regime.

There is also an obelisk present, dedicated in memory of Sephardi Jewish soldiers who died in World War I.
