St. Kilda Cemetery, Melbourne, Australia

Recently, while visiting the beautiful city of Melbourne, Australia to speak at the Great Solomon Reunion, I was lucky enough to have my hotel close to the St. Kilda Cemetery. As I walked to my talk I passed by the front gate of this beautiful resting place for so many Jews of the area.
Following the day's activities I was able to return to this burial ground and document the valuable information contained on these stones. This information is now being added to the Knowles Collection - Jews of the British Isles, and will be available after the next update.

    Todd,
    Great to see you highlighting an Australian Resource. Migt I suggest that Australian records be placed in a different collction from British Isles as Australia is not part of that group.

    Todd - Jill makes a good point. Why would Australians be listed under the British Isles?
