Sedlec-Prčice is a town in the Czech Republic. The town is sixty kilometers south of Prague.

There is an old synagogue on the town square that now hosts a small factory that makes sporting equipment.

Located in a field somewhere beyond the town is the old Jewish cemetery, founded in 1867. There are still said to be a small number of gravestones hidden in the overgrowth. The cemetery is owned by the local Jewish community.

With all the Jews gone, a centuries-old interdependent community slowly built up and enriched by diverse connections, perspectives and a wholeness and continuity between the physical and the spiritual is gone along with them. That was destroyed one September morning in 1942 when eight families, twenty-six Jews, were deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp.
