Waldheim

Subject: Poland-associated society plots at Waldheim Cemetery in ChicagoFrom: Steven Lasky Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2008 17:18:14 -0400X-Message-Number: 1Greetings,I have compiled a list of the societies that own burial plots at Waldheim Cemetery in Forest Park, Illinois. When applicable, I've also added the name of the town and/or country that is associated with a particular plot. About half of the society plots at Waldheim are associated with a particular town and/or country in Eastern Europe. Of course, this would be a good opportunity to photograph an entire society plot's matzevot, either as an an individual enterprise or as part of a research group project.At least forty of these society plots are associated each with today's Poland. I have also listed the gate numbers for each plot and the entrance one should use in entering the cemetery to best find the plot you wish to visit. There is also a list of societies who own plots for Menorah Gardens and the Jewish Oakridge Cemeteries.If you have any corrections or can identify any of the plots presently identified as "unknown" with respect to their town and country associations, please let me know.The link is www.museumoffamilyhistory.com/cp-waldheim-cemetery-societies.htmBest,Steven LaskyNew York ----------------------------------------------------------------------
