Tomb of Isidor (Isi) Berberich

Isidor Berberich was born on June 19, 1893. He is also counted among the patriotic Jews. He fought for Germany in World War I and was killed near Bertrix on August 22, 1944. His parents had a cenotaph made for him at the family grave. In the former synagogue, which was unfortunately destroyed, hung a memorial plaque for the Jewish Hanau soldiers who died in the First World War. Isidor Berberich's name was also on this plaque.
