Title

Hubina cemetery

Description

The cemetery is located on the northern slope near the Christian cemetery. It shows no signs of being fenced or having a ceremonial room. There are 22 extant gravestones in the cemetery. The symbolism on the gravestones is modest. One gravestone belongs to a Levite, and one features the symbol of two lions. A unique feature is the double grave of Jakob and Eva Ponger, which appears twice—once in an older and once in a newer version. The surname Ponger appears most frequently. Other surnames include Stangel, Rosenfeld, Drechsler, Weis, and Nagel. The oldest stone belongs to Mordechai ben Wolf from the year 1833; the newest is 100 years younger and belongs to Jitl Stangel, who died in 1930. The Stangel family is the only one that survived the Holocaust. [Ľudmila Pártošová, Peter Werner]
