The Ordinary, Extraordinary Cemetery

In this episode of the Ordinary Extraordinary Cemetery, Jennie and Dianne, along with special guest Avrohom Krauss, an educator, genealogist, and speaker specializing in Jewish resources and cemetery research, delve into the Ordinary Extraordinary Jewish immigrant cemeteries of New York. These cemeteries hold the final resting places of victims from tragic events like the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire in 1911 and the sinking of the Titanic in 1912. Avrohom, who frequently presents and writes on the topic of landsmanshaftn (immigrant social benefit societies), brings a wealth of knowledge from his experiences touring Jewish cemeteries across the U.S. and around the world, including in Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine, and Israel.
