| Cemetery Description: |
The book Sefer Beit HaChaim was published in 1931 in Piotrków, Poland, by Moshe Menachem Mendel Walden, a prominent rabbi and author of several books.
What makes this book so unique is that it is virtually unknown -- there are only three known copies:
one in Europe, one in the United States, and one in Israel.
The book includes the full tombstone inscriptions of 1,422 men buried in the cemetery of Kielce, Poland, dating from the mid-1870s until the late 1920s.
Most of these tombstones no longer exist, as the cemetery in Kielce was mostly destroyed during WWII.
