Abstract

This work briefly summarizes the results of a research project carried out in the Jewish cemetery in Radnice. The comparison of the archival materials and epitaps offers a broad view of the individual families of this Jewish community, which perished in 1940s.The Poppers Family was chosen to illustrate the development of family relationships in the regions of Rokycany and Rakovnik.

The family buried their deceased in Radnice, but also in Terešov and other local cemeteries. A tomb at a higher artistic level of masonry, as well as beautiful epigraphy, was chosen for this purpose.
