IAJGS International Jewish Cemetery Project

The International Jewish Cemetery Project mission is the documentation of all Jewish burial sites throughout the world. Thus far it has identified over 22,000 cemeteries.  To view the most current cemetery list online, click here. The IAJGS project identifies only cemeteries and burial sites. It is not an index of individual names and graves. For individual Jewish burials please refer to JOWBR (JewishGen Online Worldwide Burial Registry) for updated worldwide Jewish burial information. IAJGS is not able to respond to requests for individual burial information.
