JEWISH CEMETERIES IN MONTANA

Subject: MAJCo – Jewish Cemeteries In Montana
Last week the Montana Historical Society sponsored, with the help of National Park Service funding, a seminar on cemetery preservation. Helena’s Home of Peace cemetery featured significantly in several of the presentations and was one of the stops on the Helena historic cemeteries tour.
Home of Peace, owned and managed by the Home of Peace Cemetery Association, was established in 1867. It is Helena’s oldest active cemetery and the oldest Jewish cemetery in Montana.
(Papers exist suggesting as the Virginia City mining camp prepared to become an organized town in the mid-1860’s, its founders designated an area in its planned cemetery as “The Hebrew Cemetery.” There are no monuments in the designated area and no documentation of its having ever been purchased by any Jewish community. Although Ground Penetrating Radar suggests many internments, it is thought the area was used by Virginia City for mass burials during one of its later epidemics.)
I, therefore, know only the particulars of two specifically Jewish cemeteries in Montana. I believe we also have cemeteries in Butte and Great Falls, but I do not know their particulars. If you are aware of additional active or inactive Jewish cemeteries, please reply with that information. “Reply All,” so the information can be shared and not duplicated.

A RESOURCE FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION
http://www.israelemb.org/washington/Speakers-Guide/Business/Pages/Lior-Vaknin.aspx
My name is Danielle Genin, and I’m reaching out on behalf of Lior Vaknin.
Mr. Vaknin is a young Israeli guy, who’s currently on a goodwill mission to share some of the good things Israel is doing in the technology and innovation word and why it’s considered “Startup Nation”, in all 50 States! His main goal is to help reduce the antisemitism and Anti-Israel atmosphere around the country through proper education.
He’s been on the road for 13 months now and is currently in state number #28.
Lior will be visiting Montana around mid-July and it’s a rare opportunity for the community to gain additional information from someone who’s “been there”, and be part of his special mission.
I’ll be happy to jump on a call sometime this week and share some more information, and in the meantime you’re welcome to check this short intro video of his –

U.S. HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL MUSEUM PROJECT
“Did you know people like you around the country helped us create the Museum’s new exhibition, Americans and the Holocaust?
From high school students to lifelong learners, ‘citizen historians’ combed through local newspaper archives, finding more than 15,000 articles that helped us explore the question, ‘What did Americans know about the Holocaust?’
The articles were found through the initiative History Unfolded: US Newspapers and the Holocaust, which asks volunteers to search for news of events such as the Nazi book burnings and the voyage of the St. Louis.
Would you like to join the more than 3,000 contributors? Visit History Unfolded online and see how you can help create an archive that historians will use for generations to come.
Sincerely,
Dr. Rebecca Erbelding
Historian and Researcher, Americans and the Holocaust
United States Holocaust Memorial Museum”
