Johannes Reiss, director >from the Jewish Museum Eisenstadt, made a new
update for the Jewish cemetery Triest http://www.ojm.at/blog/juedischer-friedhof-triest/personenregister/ "A benefactor to all who fell down, he lifted them up" (Dr. Sigismond Spierer, 1925) A follow-up regarding the Jewish cemetery of Trieste: Another 187 graves have been put online (altogether there are 349 now), 791 individual names are indexed! Again one finds prominent names such as the famous liquor dynasty Stock or Luzzatto, Morpurgo and Minerbi and several families >from Vienna, Hohenems and Burgenland (such as Gerstl, Brunner or Ascoli), there is the headstone of Trieste's long-time chief rabbi Dr. Paolo Nissim, a headstone >from Trieste's old Jewish cemetery from 1836 and many beautiful and touching grave inscriptions in Hebrew which have all been translated - and also many Triestine Jews which fell victim to the Nazi terror.
