The Old Synagogue Square in Freiburg im Breisgau is a place of remembrance of Jewish life and its temporary extinction. Here stood the synagogue of the Jewish community of Freiburg from 1870 to 1938. Its complete destruction during the November pogrom was followed by the expulsion and murder of all 1,138 Freiburg Jews. After the Second World War, the city of Freiburg remained in possession of the site as a result of a settlement with the newly founded Jewish community.

Jews were already resident in Stralsund in the 13th century. Since the beginning of the 15th century there was a Judenstraße in Stralsund. Until the Reichspogromnacht in 1938, there was a synagogue in its immediate vicinity. At that time, Jewish inhabitants lived all over the city center; there was never a ghetto in Stralsund as in other German cities. In 1934, Judenstraße was renamed "Jodestraße". This was initiated by the NSDAP, whose local office had the address Judenstraße. The renaming was justified with the invented Stralsund family Jode.

In the BADEHAUS of Waldram (formerly Föhrenwald), history can be experienced as if in fast motion: From 1940, the National Socialists built a model settlement for armaments workers in the Wolfratshaus forest. Towards the end of the war, the concentration camp death march passed by here. Then Föhrenwald became a camp for Jewish displaced persons who had survived the Holocaust. From 1956 on, mostly Catholic displaced persons with many children were settled and the place was renamed Waldram. Traces of this unique migration history can still be found here today.

The Jewish cemetery Hochberg is quite well researched. Because the desquamation of the soft sandstone progressed rapidly, the then municipality of Remseck am Neckar had a photo documentation made as early as 1982. The theologian Ulrike Sill then recorded all 246 gravestones and fragments between 1992 and 1998, recorded the inscriptions and made translations from Hebrew. In particular, she was assisted in this endeavor by Gil Hüttenmeister, a leading Judaist at the University of Tübingen.
