Jewish Cemetery of Diemen

It came into use in 1914 when the older Jewish Cemetery Zeeburg in Amsterdam reached its limit.

The cemetery can still be seen today by train passengers travelling eastwards from Amsterdam.

Unusual for a Jewish cemetery is the presence of urns, most of which hold the remains of Jews who were cremated at Westerbork during the World War II years.

In 1958 a large part of the Jewish Cemetery Zeeburg was relocated to Diemen, due to city of Amsterdam expansion (a smaller part was added to the Flevopark).
