AMIA, the Jewish Community Center of Buenos Aires, has an online database of grave locations for the four Jewish cemeteries [update: this link is updated and now works again. ] in Buenos Aires: Berazategui, Ciudadela, Liniers, and Tablada. You can search by last name. AMIA also provides directions and information (in Spanish) for visiting each of the cemeteries.
Update: AMIA has changed their web site, so the link to the online database of the cemeteries isn’t working. I also couldn’t find it on their new site. Perhaps they will add that back in the future. It was a good resource.
Update October 15, 2009: The link to the online database of Jewish cemeteries in Buenos Aires is now working again.
I did update the link to the page with directions to each of the cemeteries, but that page – for now – is only in Spanish.

Hello Yael,
The cemetery with the holocaust memorial is Tablada.

thank you , is there anyway to find out where in the cemetery he is buried?

The online directory (which isn’t currently operational) at AMIA listed the location of each grave (I believe). Perhaps you could email AMIA to find out if they can tell you. AMIA probably has that information in print. Best of luck.

@Miriam: Since the online database doesn’t work anymore, I suggest that you contact AMIA directly.

@Miriam: The online directory is now working. I’m not sure if the online directory is complete and contains all the graves.
If you were to come here, then I’m sure that you could find your grandparents graves. You should check directly with AMIA.

I am looking for my grandfather who died in St Nicholas so I am guessing he was buried in Tablada. He was orthodox. He died in 1917 and Tablada’s lists don’t go back that far. Is there a synagogue nearby that he may have been a member that may have his burial records? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
