Unín cemetery
The Unín cemetery is located southeast of the village and is accessible via a dirt road. On a hillock surrounded by fields, there are 36 gravestones, mostly with inscriptions in Hebrew and German. A small number of the limestone headstones are still standing, but the majority have toppled. The oldest gravestone belongs to Gerson Spitzer, who died in 1881. Burials continued at the cemetery even after World War II. Jozefína Richter (d. 1952) and Leo Richter (d. 1955), the grandmother and father of the contemporary poet Milan Richter, are buried here. In addition to the name Richter, other surnames found here include Schidlof, Chlamtatsch, Landesmann, and others. The cemetery was once enclosed by a wire fence.

Prietrž cemetery
The cemetery is located in the northeastern part of the village. It is part of the educational trail Hussite Walls and is marked with an information board. A paved path leads from the information board to the walls. Only two gravestones from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries remain at the cemetery site. According to registry records, the Grünfeld and Sonnenfeld families lived in Prietrž as early as the beginning of the 19th century. Until the end of the 19th century—and possibly even later—Jews from Prietrž were buried mainly in Sobotište, but also in Senica. [Ľudmila Pártošová, Peter Werner]Tags Trnava Region -
