The Sephardic Jewish Cemetery lies opposite Bellu Cemetery in the south of the city. Two rows of graves dated 21 to 23 January 1941 mark the Iron Guard's pogrom against the Jewish community in Bucharest, during which at least 170 Jews were murdered. From the metro walk 100m toward the modern City Hall; it's to the right.
