Werner (1920-2008) and Hella (1923-2013, née Simon) Händler lived here from 1952, and both lived here until their deaths. 

Samuel Steinfeld was born on 23.01.1911 in Breslau. He came with his family to the Deblin Ghetto in 1940 and had to do forced labor there. In 1942 he was deported to the Czestochowa camp. In January 1944 he was sent to Buchenwald concentration camp and was further transferred to Staßfurt concentration camp. During the death march he managed to escape.

The synagogue of the religious community of Meisenheim, built in the years 1864-1866, was the largest of the former 20 synagogues in the Bad Kreuznach district.

On the night of the pogroms on November 9, 1938, the interior was devastated and the building set on fire, which was, however, extinguished again to protect the neighboring building.

The Jewish cemetery was established in 1845 and occupied until 1938. 50 gravestones are preserved. In addition, there is a collective grave for the bones of the cemetery in Lauterecken, which gave way to a road project in 1974.  

Hohenems is located only a few kilometers from  Bregenz in Vorarlberg. If you leave the small town in a southerly direction, you will find the Israelite cemetery on the slope of the "Schwefelberg".
