The Filantropia Jewish cemetery in Bucharest was opened in 1865, being the oldest still existing Jewish cemetery of the city (there is a total of 3 Jewish cemeteries in Bucharest). It covers an area of almost 70 hectares and has almost 30.000 graves. Parts of the cemetery are overgrown, some inaccessible.

In the interwar period, 11 % of the Bucharest's population was Jewish, around 70000 people. Today, the community is maybe 5 % of what it was, but Jewish traces can be found everywhere, if you look closely. Star& Cohn was a Jewish owned shop, like many were in downtown Bucharest. 80-90 years later someone opened a coffee shop with the same name. What a beautiful way to celebrate the history of the place!
