Sages, celebrities, veterans, crooks: Take a NY cemetery's Jewish walks of fame - and infamy

The Yiddish Theatrical Alliance block at the Mount Hebron Cemetery in Queens, New York, offers a self-guided audio tour to learn about the history of the cemetery. The cemetery, established in 1903, is the Jewish section of Cedar Grove Cemetery and covers about 215 acres. The cemetery's Legacy Foundation seeks to preserve the contributions made by those buried there, and an internship program encourages students to unearth their stories. The cemetery also offers self-guided tours focused on the Holocaust and Jewish gangsters.
