There was no Jewish cemetery in Doudleby. The Jewish community buried their dead in
the cemetery near Vamberk. This cemetery is on a hill to the north of the main square
of Vamberk. Most of those buried there were from Doudleby, rather than Vamberk.
According to Fiedler, the eldest preserved tombstones are from 1700 and earliest
records mentioning the cemetery are from 1688 (Fiedler, 194). In 1820 the cemetery
was enlarged, and the wall was built around the cemetery.
I visited the cemetery twice, in 1991 and in August 1993. During my second visit I
observed some reconstruction work as the wall surrounding the cemetery and the entrance
to the cemetery were under repair. Later I learned that a group of volunteers worked
to preserve the Jewish cemeteries in the region, including the cemetery in Vamberk.
From the Jewish Community in Prague I learned in 1991 that the caretaker of the cemetery
was Mr. Vladimir Dvorak (address: Janova 588, Vamberk). At the Jewish Museum in Prague
one can find photos of many of the older tombstones.
