Cemetery

Only a few kilometers south of Kaziemierz there were two Jewish cemeteries on the Ulica Abrahama in Plaszow. One was located on the Ulica Abrahama. It has not been preserved. Another cemetery was located in the north of the camp area. The grave slabs were removed, only the borders of the graves are preserved.

From 1890 was buried in the new Jewish cemetery in the east of the suburb Ziskov. The cemetery is still used by Prague Jews today. Next to old gravestones we can find steles commemorating the expulsion of Jüdic communities by the Nazis.

The new cemetery was inaugurated in 1943. He also adjoins the municipal cemetery, but östlich. He is so far occupied with about 400 Gräber

In the front part of the new cemetery is a mortuary. While one finds also obelisks and other forms as well as decorations with the gravestones in the old cemetery, the present orthodox adjustment of the municipality is recognizable also at the einförmigen and unadorned gravestones of the new cemetery.

On March 3, 1887 the old cemetery at Friedenthal was inaugurated. It borders on the west with the municipal cemetery. It is fully occupied with 366 graäbers and has not been used since 1942.

The Jüdische cemetery of Schüttorf is located at the Samernsche Strasse  in a small forest. It was used in the 17th century for burials. It still has 19 gravestones today. Jews settled in Schüttorf probably as early as 1700. The community always had only a few Jewish families. They belonged to the synagogue community of Bad Bentheim.

There are 50 gravestones in the cemetery. The memorial stone was erected by Mottel Schwarz, a survivor of the Shoah.

The cemetery is located on Görlitzer Straße (B 99), on the northöeastern edge of the city. Coming from Görlitz you cross a traffic circle with the turnoff to the B178 (to Löbau and Bautzen). Immediately behind it on the right (western) side of the road is the cemetery.

A Jewish cemetery must have existed in Schermbeck already in the middle of the 17th century, in the church records of the Protestant church several Jews are mentioned who were buried in Schermbeck.

It is not clear whether it was the same cemetery that exists today at the „Bösenberg“. The present cemetery is located in a residential area. There are 31 rather plain stones, also two memorial stones for people who were murdered in camps.

Due to the East-West division of the city of Berlin, the Jewish community of Berlin was also divided into East and West. This meant for the Jews in the western part of the city: a new cemetery had to be built. In the north-western part of Grunewald, which here borders on Heerstr., an area of about 3.4 hectares was purchased in 1955 for the construction of a cemetery. This was consecrated in 1956 and until today über 5.000 burials took place here.

Only a memorial plaque, the restored grave of Moses Mendelssohn and some exhibited historic gravestones reminds today of this Jewish cemetery and its destruction by the National Socialists.After the Judenkiewer Spandau (1314 documentary mentioned)[see link], the Jewish cemetery in Berlin-Mitte is the älteste of the Berlin Jewish community. Today located in the center of the city, the cemetery was established and consecrated in 1672, well before the site. Exact document numbers are not clearly ascertainable.
