I wonder how many of the people who, each spring, flock to Rome's beautiful Rose Garden know that it was created on the site of a three-hundred old Jewish cemetery. The cemetery was built in 1645 and served the city's Jewish community until the 1930s. Its memory is preserved in the layout of the paths, which resemble the Menorah. Comments are closed.
