The Montparnasse Cemetery was created in 1824 as the « Southern Cemetery », on plots of land that lied outside of the Paris city limits before the French Revolution. One part of the cemetery is separated from the rest by the street Emile-Richard and is commonly known as the “Little Cemetery”; it comprises numerous Jewish graves. A lot of prestigious Jewish personalities lie buried in this cemetery, among them: captain Alfred Dreyfus; Adolphe Crémieux, who granted French Citizenship to all Algerian Jews; sociologists Emile Durkheim and Raymond Aron; the controversial pop singer Serge Gainsbourg; as well as the famous writer Joseph Kessel.
