This is part of a project to document the burial of Jewish soldiers and POWs by the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy during the First World War by the genealogist Eric Feinstein. The source for each entry is found in the comments section. A note about the sources is that some reflect information that was made available during the conflict and thus in some rare cases changes might have taken place after the cessation of hostilities such as exhumations and reburials. Every attempt to note this was made. It should also be understood that many of the graves and cemeteries were subsequently damaged and destroyed in the Second World War and in many cases now only exist in archival and other documents.
