Jewish cemetery, Mád, Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén, Hungary

The exact grave coordinates are not confirmed yet — go by the address and ask locally. We don't publish a coordinate we haven't checked.

1.The cemetery dates from 1769 and is walled, with a locking gate; it is kept in good order and stones from the seventeen and eighteen hundreds still stand.
2.Mád is one stop on the Tokaj-Hegyalja route that links ten towns of the region and their kevarim, so it is rarely visited on its own — Tokaj, Szerencs and Sárospatak are all within an easy drive.
3.The former rabbinical house in the town has been restored as a pilgrimage house. Ask there about entry to the cemetery before making the journey.
