Finally, the East Cemetery was co-occupied, where Jews were buried within various sections (Dept. B: Halpern family), Dept. E: Biermann family, Dept. I: Hirsch family). Several graves of former Jewish residents, including the resting place of the Salomon family, are found in Section VIe. The members of the family jointly chose suicide on September 18, 1941: Dr. Oscar Salomon 1863-1941, Martha Salomon 1873-1941 and Dr. Hans Salomon 1898-1941). Next to the grave of the Salomon family are several Jewish graves.
In front of the Jewish grave field around the grave of Dr. Salomon's family there is a grave and memorial stone for 446 murdered Jewish men from concentration camps. It refers to people who perished in the subcamps of the Buchenwald concentration camp in Rehmsdorf and Gleina near Zeitz.
