For over 160 years, the Baron Hirsch cemetery has been an integral part of orthodox life in the Jewish community of Memphis. The first burial here dates back to 1847. Walking through these sacred grounds will give you a Jewish history lesson unlike any other. You'll see names of people who were absolute pillars of the community - from the Yellow Fever epidemic, World Wars I and II, and the Holocaust. During the past 100 years the cemetery has expanded to over ten acres, which represents over 3.400 burials. There is enough land to contain an additional 1,400 grave sites without any additional expansion.
