As part of our "Abenteuer Heimat" event series, you will learn interesting facts about Jewish life in the district of Altenkirchen on this date. The event will probably take place in Altenkirchen: You will visit the Jewish cemetery and discover Altenkirchen in a different light.
Jewish life in Altenkirchen can be traced back to the 16th century. In addition to the synagogue, the Jewish community's facilities included a ritual bath, a school and a cemetery. The synagogue was destroyed in 1938 during the so-called Reichsprogromnacht, and today there is a car park on the site. A memorial plaque commemorates the former building. In addition to other memorials in the city, stumbling blocks bear witness to the families who were expelled and killed by the Nazis. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
