Titanic Victims buried at Baron De Hirsch Cemetery
The Titanic plot at the Baron De Hirsch Cemetery, Halifax, Nova Scotia was intended for Jewish victims of the Titanic. Many victims that were Jewish were, however, interred elsewhere while one passenger Michel Navratil was wrongly thought to be Jewish because he boarded the Titanic under the name Hoffman.
