Summary/Abstract: The Jewish Cemetery in Tuzla was founded in the late 19th century. It is used by a Jewish municipality that is unique in that it is not divided into Sephardic and Ashkenazi. So the cemetery is used both the Sephardim and Ashkenazi. The cemetery is located on a hillside above the Slana Banja promenade and the Pannonian Lakes complex. It is enclosed by concrete columns and wire, which is no longer in place. In addition to the human factor (irregular maintenance of the cemetery), the displacement of a number of tombs also led to the displacement of the soil. This paper presents data on tombstones, 161 of them as valuable cultural and historical heritage, as well as a description of each tombstone individually with the names of the deceased, the appearance of the tombstones and their motifs.
