A narrow passage, squeezed between buildings, holds a secret. This is the Traverse des Juifs in Marseille. It’s a place where echoes of the past linger. The Traverse des Juifs, or “Crossing of the Jews,” isn’t just a street. It’s a pathway to a forgotten cemetery. This street in the 6th arrondissement of Marseille once led to the Jewish cemetery. The very name, Traverse des Juifs, whispers this history. The land adjacent to the Traverse des Juifs has a layered past. In the 18th century, it was designated as a burial ground for the Saint-Eutrope hospital. Later, the hospital decided to move the remains to La Capelette cemetery. From 1783, a small, unrecognized Jewish community began using this land for their own burials. The first official Jewish burial took place in 1807. This small passage holds the weight of centuries. The Traverse des Juifs is a poignant reminder of a community’s history, tucked away in the heart of Marseille. It speaks of a time when this unassuming passageway was a vital link to their final resting place.
