One of Corfu's dirty secrets. The Jewish cemetery was bombed during WW2 and many of the destroyed gravestones were recycled as building materials in the post-war years. Here, a simple gate. But look closer...

...and you can see old Jewish gravestones used to reinforce the gate's lintel

The island's Jewish cemetery today

Most Corfiot Jews are of Italian origin, and so many of their graves were in both Hebrew and Italian

But some older ones are in Greek too. Here's Gavriil Leontsinis

Some in French, as the community also had links with France and Egypt

Some in English, perhaps reflecting the diaspora in the US

Some born in Smyrna

Many mention their survival of Auschwitz

Rebbeka Aaron was our island's last Holocaust survivor. She passed away in 2018
