About this cemetery
The Chatam Sofer Memorial in Bratislava stands on the site of the city's oldest Jewish cemetery, founded in the 17th century on land of the Pálffy family and destroyed in 1944. The present underground memorial, designed by the Slovak architect Martin Kvasnica, was built over the remains of the old cemetery. It holds the tomb of the scholar Chatam Sofer (1762-1839) and 22 other graves.
