Beside Synagogues and Mikvahs Jewish Cemeteries are central facilities of Jewish communities. Therefore they are an essential element of the daily Jewish culture. They reflect the great professional variety of the former Jewish population and partially their social status. The biography of the deceased stands behind each gravestone.

Marcel-Th. Jacobs documented the 10 Jewish cemeteries of the nine communities of the Jewish Cultural Trail Hohenlohe-Tauber with his analog Leica camera. The Jewish Museum Creglingen is presenting 40 selected photographs from this work for the first time. The photographs are supplemented with information on the local conditions and the history of the cemeteries on display.

The exhibition is the result of a collaboration between the Jewish Museum Creglingen and the Freundeskreis zum Erhalt der jüdischen Friedhöfe im mitteleuropäischen Kulturraum e.V. /Berlin. It will be opened on Thursday, 26.09.2024 at 07pm in the Jewish Museum.

Presentation period: September, 26 to November, 10 2024
Opening: Sundays, 02pm – 05pm
