Cemetery Description:

From Louis Schonfeld, Nov 15, 2000:
The village of Sena/Abaujszina (Slovak/Hungarian) in the vicinity of Kosice was a difficult location to pinpoint for a number of us. Most correspondants from that village who lived there during the Hungarian era naturally referred to the town using the Hungarian name; if the correspondant's handwriting was difficult to decipher then one might search in maps focusing in on the contemporary Hungarian county of Abauj-Torna. The town would have been shown in that county, but only on detailed maps in the era prior to the Treaty of Trianon (1920). After that time, and as part of Czechoslovakia (after 1990 Slovakia) the 'Abauj' was dropped and the town name became 'Sena'. The task of locating Abaujszina remained on my 'to-do-list' for several years (even though I don't have ancestors from that village, others do, so it became important for me as well). Several weeks ago I received a call from a descendant of that town's only Rabbi. He had heard of me via my network of contacts throughout the Chassidic communities of Williamsburgh, Boro Park, Bene Brak etc. His name is Calman Lieberman and he has asked me to post his name, telephone number (718-384-4639) and fax number (718-599-4997) for anyone interested about this village and its former Jewish inhabitants. He has made several trips there for the purposes of restoring the Jewish cemetery and repairing the Matzevot (tombstones). He has also provided a list of the remaining Matzevot in the Jewish cemetery of Sena, and the information he has gleaned from each one which I happy to present here.
