400 Years Königstraße Jewish Cemetery
von Oliver Breitfeld, Michael Studemund-Halévy und Almut WeinlandCemeteries are open-air libraries, gravestones of marble
or sandstone are their precious books. They tell us about
four centuries of Jewish culture in Hamburg and Altona.
They speak of rabbis and cantors, learned scholars and
merchants, men and women, the old and the young, the
rich and the poor, pious and less religious Jews. German
and Portuguese Jews. Their traces in inscriptions and
symbols are frequently the sole witnesses to memory,
and are at the same time a singular document of Jewish
life in northern Europe.
