The Tayar Foundation for Jewish Heritage in Malta has launched a campaign to restore and maintain Malta’s three Jewish cemeteries.
The cemetery found in Kalkara has quite a history having been endowed by the Italian Livorno Jewish community to provide a burial place for Jewish slaves who were captured and eventually died in Malta. Thankfully, slavery ended before any such burial could take place, but there is a great deal of interest in restoring this historic cemetery.
The other cemeteries are at Ta’ Braxia and Marsa, alongside the Ottoman Military Cemetery, with only the latter currently being used.
