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: 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.

I will be in Buenos aires toaward the end of January 2011. I am searching for my paternal greeat-uncle Ben Zion Schwartz (or Svartz, shwartz) who came from Ukraine, probably around the time of World War I. Don’t know the exact date, but know that my parents in USA were in contact with the family just after World War II. Hope you can help. Thanks, Dan Litt

My grandmother had many siblings all born in Mlawa, Poland between 1889 to perhaps 1905. Some stayed, some to UK, one to USA and one brother to Buenos Aires arriving approx 1910-1920. I only know the family name GOLDBERG. How on earth would I find where he is buried or his family?
Many thanks.

My grandfather’s brother arrived in Buenos Aires in 1924 from the Ukraine. He died in the mid 1970s (1975-1976?) His name was Samuel Elman (“official” ID said “Helman”), and his wife was Dora Litwinczuk (sp?) Elman/Helman. I believe she died a few years earlier (~1972). Can you tell me where he is buried? Thank you.

I am looking for my uncle, my fathers brother who came from Poland. He used the name of Avahram Ostroff or Shlossman. He had 2 children, a boy and a girl named Mirtha. I know my uncle is dead but his son had 2 children and one was a boy so the last name should be carried out. My mother lost contact after my father, Sidney Shlossman died. Would like any info I can get.

My great grandfather’s brother Welwel Fajbiszewicz emigrated from Kartur, Poland to Buenos Aires some time after 1921. Believe he raised a family & died in Buenos Aires. The family name was changed to Fisher in the US. Can you help us locate his grave & family in Argentina.
Thank you in advance.

Hello,
I am looking for a great-aunt who left Tarnopol (now part of the Ukraine; it was once in Poland) and settled in Buenos Aires, where she lived for some time. She left before WWII and her maiden name was Fromer. We’re not sure what her first name was, though it might have been Rose or Rosa or Ruth. If you have any information about her, please let me know. She had at least two sisters and three brothers, and her mother was Fejga Fromer. The 5 or so other siblings and her mother ended up in Toronto, Canada. These brothers included Hymie (b. Joachim, we believe), Ben, Zygmunt (Sidney). Thank you.

Hello,
I’m searching for my jewish relatives, in Argentina. Whom should I contact ?
—————
Family.
Teodoro Feldman – I believe – is burried in Vieja Tablada, in the local cementary ?
Are there sons or daugthers (?) of Teodoro Feldman ? In Buenos Aires ?
————-
Background.
My grandfather David Feldman had 4-5 brothers.
From Charkov (?), or from Korets (?) in Ucraine, former Russia/Poland.
Almost all died in 1942-43, during World War II.
———-
One of them (Shejlik Feldman ?) emigrated to Buenos Aires. In the 1920’s ? or 30’s ?
———–
This brother (Shejlik ?) had a son in Argentina: Teodoro Feldman.
Teodoro probably died in Buenos Aires, the 1990’s ?
Teodoro had two (?) sons (?) in Buenos Aires …
I’m searching for those two – or their families / children ?
————-
