The Jewish Cemetery - What left behind?

The Penang Jewish Cemetery is situated alongside Jalan Zainal Abidin (Jahudi Road), a small link road located between Jalan Burmah and Macalister Road.
It is a small cemetery, however there is a caretaker who look after the cemetery.

The Jewish Cemetery entrance.





There is different type of size and design of tomb
Some of the tomb were built too close to the other grave. This is because the Jewish people are aware that the burial land within the city would be scarce as the port-city developed and hence tried to save as much space as they could for future generations. (according to my reading).
Most of the grave were built as low and long pyramidal structures.

My Monument

Monument is a structure that erected as a memorial. Monument is not only a tombstone but also can be a building or sculpture.

My Monument design

From the 3 design I have choose this design. This is the modal of my monument, I use Sketchup to do it.

My intention to do this monument - erected as a memorial when I no longer in the world.
