Description
The tomb of Dr. Ármin Aharon Kassowitz (1864-1929), is made of worked stone and designed in the style of the Hungarian secession; a tall base surrounded with two columns features the epitaph of Dr. Kassowitz in Hungarian, and the inscription in Serbo-Croatian added after the war with the names of Armin's wife Sidi, his son Rudolf and his wife Lili. The top part of the tomb has a semicircular shape set on two columns. The top section is elaborately carved with delicate floral motifs bearing some traditional Jewish symbols: a Magen David, the Tablets of the Law, and an image of a lily. On the back side is an epitaph of Dr. Kassowitz written in Hebrew. The epitaph incorporates the Hebrew name of the deceased (Aharon), his father’s name (Mór), and the Hebrew date of his death.
