About
Fakta singkat: Lebih dari 12.000 nisan bertumpuk di lahan sempit, membentuk labirin batu yang membuatmu meraba sejarah dari dekat. Cahaya yang masuk di antara barisan batu menciptakan suasana dramatis, pengunjung sering terhenti membaca ukiran Ibrani dan simbol-simbol yang bercerita tanpa suara.
Sorotan: Bayangkan lebih dari 12.000 nisan berdesak-desakan di sebuah lahan sempit, di atas sekitar 100.000 jasad yang terkubur berlapis sampai 12 tingkat, sehingga jalan setapaknya terasa seperti lorong batu berlumut yang berbisik saat angin lewat. Di salah satu sinagoga, dinding dilapisi 77.297 nama korban yang ditulis hitam, barisan huruf itu tampak seperti pohon kata yang menggema setiap kali suara doa atau aroma lilin muncul.
Insider tips
- Wear sturdy shoes for cobblestones and steep, narrow cemetery steps.
- Check photography rules before entering synagogues; flash and tripods are often prohibited.
- Start at opening time to avoid tour-group crowds, or visit late afternoon for softer light and fewer people.
- Skip souvenir stalls in the main square and buy Judaica at the museum shop for higher-quality items.
