00:00:01.020 --> 00:00:04.170 align:middle line:84%
There is another
Jewish cemetery--

00:00:04.170 --> 00:00:07.140 align:middle line:84%
the oldest Jewish cemetery
in the former Prague

00:00:07.140 --> 00:00:14.070 align:middle line:84%
Jewish ghetto, which
is a fantastic site.

00:00:14.070 --> 00:00:21.510 align:middle line:84%
Actually the site which
every tourist must see.

00:00:21.510 --> 00:00:24.570 align:middle line:84%
The cemetery is so
small that the burials

00:00:24.570 --> 00:00:26.290 align:middle line:90%
have been one atop of another.

00:00:26.290 --> 00:00:29.670 align:middle line:84%
So they are three or
four layers of gaves,

00:00:29.670 --> 00:00:31.410 align:middle line:90%
one on top of another.

00:00:31.410 --> 00:00:33.960 align:middle line:90%
And you can't read the names.

00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:37.590 align:middle line:84%
The burials are from
the 15th century on.

00:00:37.590 --> 00:00:42.210 align:middle line:84%
And the earliest Jewish burial
comes from the 16th century,

00:00:42.210 --> 00:00:44.940 align:middle line:90%
and the name is still visible.

00:00:44.940 --> 00:00:51.120 align:middle line:84%
And it is the name of Avigdor
Kara, who was a Jewish poet.

00:00:51.120 --> 00:00:55.725 align:middle line:84%
I have read and I fabricated
this poem about Avigdor Kara.

00:00:55.725 --> 00:00:58.350 align:middle line:90%


00:00:58.350 --> 00:01:02.190 align:middle line:84%
I just liked the name, otherwise
there is no connection.

00:01:02.190 --> 00:01:07.230 align:middle line:84%
"From the travels
of Avigdor Kara."

00:01:07.230 --> 00:01:13.140 align:middle line:84%
"That land is marked by
a multitude of crosses

00:01:13.140 --> 00:01:19.170 align:middle line:84%
large and small at crossroads,
along highways, on a stone,

00:01:19.170 --> 00:01:27.220 align:middle line:84%
or on a tree, in the far corner
of forests and mines and towns.

00:01:27.220 --> 00:01:30.630 align:middle line:90%


00:01:30.630 --> 00:01:35.730 align:middle line:90%
Jesus Christ is on many of them.

00:01:35.730 --> 00:01:39.440 align:middle line:90%
Many are still free."
