Jewish cemetery (Wörth an der Donau concentration camp gravesite)

A concentration camp gravesite is located in the municipal cemetery of Wörth (Kapellenweg, 93086 Wörth an der Donau). On a death march, eighteen prisoners of the Buchenwald concentration camp were shot in Wörth by SS guards on April 24/25, 1945. The collective grave in the Wörth cemetery, where the murdered were buried, was dissolved in 1957 in the course of a reburial to Flossenbürg. The grave of Josef Gurski, concentration camp prisoner in Flossenbürg and died of exhaustion on May 13, 1945, remained. Possibly Gurski belonged to the Jewish DP community in Wörth, whose members waited here for their emigration.
