      They are not forgotten, we Jews remember during the Yizkor services held four times a year, and most poignantly during the Yizkor service on Yom Kippur afternoon. We collectively remember every Jew who has no one to say Kaddish for them anymore, along with our own families, friends and those who have passed in our respective synagogues during these for memorial services. I am sure the reason the crypt is abandoned is because their relatives perished during the Shoah and they either have no living family anymore, or their families never returned to that city after WWII ended.

  • @HarryFlashmanVC
    @HarryFlashmanVC 4 месяца назад +82

    The reason why the Jewish crypt wasnt't maintained: If you look at the dates on the Jewish crypt they are all pre WW2. Now when this cemetery closed the authorities handed over maintenance for each grave site to the families, which is why some of the graves are better cared than others. In the case of the Jewish Crypt the reason why it wasn't maintained is because from 1942, the 25000 Jewish community in Brussels was deported to Auschwitz. Every relative still in Brussels in 1942 of the Jews buried there would have been rounded up and murdered.
    So there was no one left to care for the crypt.
    Brussels was the second largest Jewish community in Belgium pre WW2, Antwerp was the largest. Between 1942 and 1944 the Germans deported and murdered 1/3 of the Jewish population and most of them were from Antwerp and Brussels.
    The surviving Jews had other things to worry about and much of their wealth had been seized. After WW2 many of Europe's Jews emigrated to the USA and to Israel and the UK. The modern Jewish community in Brussels is relatively recent.

    I don't understand how such places can be considered "abandoned". While I'm not advocating for "The State" (any government) to seize property for profit, cemeteries and graveyards are a completely different thing. If nothing else, governments should care for, and preserve such places due to their history should the owners no longer be able to do so.
    I can't imagine that it would cost TOO much to pay for groundskeepers to maintain places like this, especially considering the budgets many governments have at their disposal. Plus, if you think about it another way, it would create JOBS. Jobs with a purpose. I don't see any negatives with that idea.

    I was feeling anxious watching you underground - and I'm in North Carolina in the US! But I thought I heard someone coughing or talking a couple of times. I had a strong feeling that you have a bit of "the sight" in you while I was watching that. I would probably have gone down there, but I don't know that I would have lasted as long as you did and I certainly would not have gone down by myself. Brave man.

    Oh wow, just WOW! How did you ever find such an amazing and unique and closed cemetery all at once! You are correct not to name this beautiful and consecrated place. It held both Christians and Jews but there is a reason that so many were buried together to protect their bodies underground. At first, I didn't think you should go down. But how would you know, so that those that can, will protect and document this place. That is a very historic place Cathal. It certainly doesn't look abandoned or you would not have been able to walk through it. This was an exemplary find! And even better if it is kept a secret! Bravo and touché to you! ♥️☘️

    It's a very sad place, the underground crypts especially. You do wish that someone could put the bones in boxes rather than leaving them scattered about. As cemeteries go, many of those graves are not that old. It's such a shame that no one has restored it. I suppose it's always a matter of money.
