The southern end of the Jewish section at the Belfast City Cemetery
This image shows a number of interesting feature. The obelisk on the right marks the resting place of the Hamburg-born Daniel Joseph Jaffe (1809-1874). A leading Belfast linen merchant, he died at Nice and was the first to be buried in this newly acquired Jewish burial ground. Daniel Jaffe was the father of Otto Jaffe, Lord Mayor of Belfast.
The ruined building on the left, of which only the foundations remain, was a mortuary chapel.
The red marble memorial in the foreground, erected in 1931 by the Belfast Chevra Kadisha, commemorates those buried in the Jewish "poor ground" - the "empty" green area. Under conditions laid down for the establishment of a Jewish cemetery no headstones were allowed for those who were buried in the poor ground. The outline of the graves can be seen in the satellite image on Google Maps.
