Warren
Hills Cemetery
The
first Jewish grave at Warren Hills is dated 22nd Feb 1968.
The
cemetery is located on the Bulawayo Road about 12 kms out of Harare in a
southerly direction. There are a number of other cemeteries of other
religions and denominations directly adjacent to the Jewish cemetery. A
few kilometers away is the Zimbabwe National Heroes Acre memorial where key members of the
Zimbabwe leadership from both government and the pre-independence struggle
are buried.
The
first 5 pages listed on the left have been created in lots of
approximately 100 graves and
listed by number which also gives an approximate chronological order.
February
2005 - a number of additional tombstone photos have been added to
this section - particularly the plaques belonging to members of the Reform
community.
November
2004 - Some 590 photos of the Warren Hills cemetery have been added
to the website in two formats :
1.
In each of the pages by sequential grave number (see- Warren One to Five) there are now links to full resolution
images of the tombstones. Some images are missing and will be added as
soon as available. The numbering sequence does create a general chronological order
but there are exceptions especially where burial sites were reserved by
spouses or family.
2.
In addition seven photo albums (see list on left e.g. Tombstones A-Z) have been created and added to this section
of the website with all the 590 photos of the cemetery in alphabetical
listing and with several easy navigation features including - thumbnails,
full resolution and slideshow. There is also an album of general
photos showing the Ohel and plaques of the cemetery.
The
images are best viewed with screen resolution of 1024 x 768 Pixels using
Internet Explorer 6

wishes to express its sincere thanks to Benny Leon of Harare for his efforts in
taking all the photos for this project.
