The Old Jewish Cemeteries in Newark traces the establishment of the Newark area cemeteries from the middle of the nineteenth century to the end of the twentieth century. It consequently describes the nature of the Jewish society during that period. Intertwined with the description of the historical development of the various cemeteries are tales about the lives of the Jews who are buried in the different sections and the lives of their descendants. The book is unique in that it traces the history of the Jews using cemetery records, obituaries, and the memories of their descendants. Included in the book are copies of old documents and pictures, which should enhance the reading pleasure.
