About this cemetery

Beth Haim Bleinheim is a Jewish cemetery on the former Bleinheim plantation north of the Schottegat, near where Jews first settled in Curaçao in 1651. The early settlers founded it in 1659. It preserves thousands of graves of the island's Jewish community, with inscriptions in several languages, and is described as the oldest Jewish cemetery on Curaçao.
