Mendes Cohen

Biography

Mendes Cohen, whose brief time among us spanned the year 1831, rests at Baltimore Hebrew Cemetery. Though details of his life have not endured beyond his name and his final resting place, the memory of this child remains tenderly held by those who laid him to rest within the sacred grounds of Baltimore’s Hebrew community.

May the silence surrounding Mendes’s short life remind us of the fragility of existence, and may his presence at Baltimore Hebrew Cemetery stand as a gentle testament to the love and care bestowed upon him by family and friends who mourned his early passing.
