Finally Figured it Out

I was able to resize the images and post some pictures.

From the Jewish cemetery in Prague - the oldest Jewish gravesite in Europe dating from the 1400s.  It's a very famous site and was extremely crowded with tourists:

The Old Jewish Cemetery in Josefov, the Jewish Quarter, was created in the 15th century when Jews were forbidden to bury their dead outside their own district. Space was scarce, so bodies were buried on top of each other in an estimated 12 layers.

I have been to Prague and this cemetery. A man in his eighties took us through the synagog with obvious pride in what he was doing.

So much about this site is more than Jewish history. They were a vital part of the city and still are.
