| Cemetery Description: |
Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, VA, USA. 6,572 burials total.
This database is the outgrowth of a personal project begun in the 1990s by Kenneth Poch, a Jewish veteran whose goal was to identify every Jewish service member interred in Arlington National Cemetery. By the time of his death in 2003, he had identified 2,700 men and women who had served. JGSGW completed a years-long re-survey of the entire cemetery in 2011, including burial sections, memorial markers and courts containing cremated remains in niches covered by identification plaques. Included are spouses and other family members who did not serve but also are here. The project monitors new burials and seeks new data about Jewish men, women and children previously placed in Arlington. Locations in Section numbers 1 through 84 contain burials with stone monuments or standard military white headstones; Sections MA through MK contain memorial markers with no remains; Columbarium Courts 1 through 13 and Section N70 (the “Niche Wall”) are comprised of stacked niches for cremation urns. Contributors are Kenneth Poch, Harvey Kabaker, Ernest Fine, Rabbi Marvin Bash, Rabbi Steven Rein, Army Chaplain Capt. (now Maj.) Menachem Mendy Stern, Marlene Bishow, Elias Savada, Suzanne Amdur, Elaine Apter, Howard Cooper, Renee Domogauer, Deborah Dworski, Robert Enzel, Judy Gross, Stan Hertzbach, Larry Kohn, Rita Margolis, Roberta Solit, Susan Swift, Ben Mulitz, Marjorie Krumholz.
