Summary/Abstract: The Jewish cemetery in Telice, dating back to the late 18th century, was used until the 1930s and faced significant damage during the Nazi occupation and subsequent looting. Restoration efforts began in 2004-2005, revealing 241 gravestones or fragments, with the oldest readable gravestone from 1746 and the newest from 1935. The cemetery primarily served the Jewish communities of Telice, Prostiboř, Nedražice, Mířkov, and Darmyšl, with some gravestones belonging to war refugees from Bukovina and possibly Polish Kazimierz. The cemetery's boundary wall is mostly intact, except for the eastern side, and features a preserved entrance gate and a small gate in the northwest corner. The cemetery's layout evolved over time, with initial burials placed irregularly and later rows forming as space became limited. The site provides valuable insights into the burial practices and community organization of rural Jewish cemeteries. The restoration and research efforts aim to preserve this historical site and honor the memory of the Jewish community in the region.
