EUROPE'S OLDEST JEWISH CEMETERY in FRANKFURT, GERMANY ✡️
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's go visit the very historic Jewish Cemetery in Frankfurt, Germany, which dates back to the year 1272, as evidenced by the few remaining gravestones. It is among the oldest of its kind in Europe. By 1828, space had been exhausted and the cemetery, containing nearly 7000 graves, had to be closed.
In 1942 the National Socialists demolished approximately 4666 gravestones and piled up the rubble for removal, which you are going to see in this video here. 175 gravestones were removed, among them is the gravestone of Mayer Amschel Rothschild, founder of the banking dynasty.
Frankfurt, a central German city on the river Main, is a major financial hub that's home to the European Central Bank. It's the birthplace of famed writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, whose former home is now the Goethe House Museum. Like much of the city, it was damaged during World War II and later rebuilt. The reconstructed Altstadt (Old Town) is the site of Römerberg, a square that hosts an annual Christmas market.
Germany is a Western European country with a landscape of forests, rivers, mountain ranges and North Sea beaches. It has over 2 millennia of history. Berlin, its capital, is home to art and nightlife scenes, the Brandenburg Gate and many sites relating to WWII. Munich is known for its Oktoberfest and beer halls, including the 16th-century Hofbräuhaus. Frankfurt, with its skyscrapers, houses the European Central Bank.

6. SOUNDBITE (German) Raimund Fastenbauer, Secretary General of the Austrian Israelite Community:
These are very important because they enable us to completely restore a Jewish cemetery with gravestones that are hundreds of years old. It is totally comparable to the significance of the Jewish cemetery in Prague.
7. Various of broken gravestone
8. Wide of cemetery
9. SOUNDBITE (German) Raimund Fastenbauer, Secretary General of the Austrian Israelite Community:
The community had been wiped out twice even before the Nazis. In 1670 the Jews were expelled from Vienna for the second time. And the cemetery dates from that time.
10. Various of gravestone
11. Various of Hebrew inscriptions on gravestone
12. Wide of gravestone lying on ground
STORYLINE:
Seventy years ago, Vienna's Nazi overlords gave the order to destroy the city's oldest Jewish cemetery.
They demanded that it be levelled and the tombstones attesting to centuries of Jewish existence there be destroyed.
Desperate to save their heritage, the city's shrinking Jewish community decided to act.
Defying the possibility of prison, deportation or execution, they buried the gravestones and kept them from Nazi hands.
Jewish leaders in the Austrian capital now say the long-lost stones have been rediscovered.
It's a find they say could transform a small obscure graveyard into one that rivals the significance of Prague's Jewish cemetery, the oldest known burial ground of its kind.
The cemetery has no name and is hard to find, with the only entrance through a city home for the elderly in Vienna's 9th district.
Weathered but restored gravestones poke through weedy, uncut grass, with faded Hebrew inscriptions.
But beneath the ground, Jewish leaders say, are other tombstones piled layer upon layer.
The cemetery dates back to the 16th century and had about 900 tombstones until 1938, when the Nazis came to power and gave vandals free reign to deface and destroy them.
Vienna's Jewish leaders say it's unclear exactly how many were buried by the small group of Viennese Jews determined to save their heritage from Nazi bulldozers.
They also say they have few further details of the act, with none of the participants surviving the Holocaust and their location unclear - until now.
After workers scored the ground with radar as part of restoration work, they say they are sure there are hundreds beneath the grass.
The 20 unearthed in the past few weeks have convinced officials they have a historically significant find, they said.
Raimund Fastenbauer, a senior official with Vienna's Austrian Israelite Community, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he believes many of the up to 600 missing stones are still below ground and partially or fully recoverable.
If so, he said, the find, is totally comparable to the significance of the Jewish cemetery in Prague, once the stones are restored and set up again.
While finding and restoring them is expected to last for years, more will likely be dug up in the next few weeks.
More than 185-thousand Jews lived in Vienna before Hitler's Germany annexed Austria in 1938.
Of the more than 65-thousand deported to Nazi death camps, only about two-thousand survived.
Most of the rest emigrated, with only about 25-thousand remaining by 1946, most of whom then left the country.
Today, there are an estimated 15-thousand Jews living in Austria, largely in Vienna.

Old Lublin Jewish Cemetery
SEE MY HISTORY WEBSITE :
This film shows the Old Jewish Cemetery in Lublin which is located at Kalinowszczyzna 5-7. They key is available at Teatr NN at the Grodzka Gate - so climbing over walls as potrayed in this film is not necessary.
The cemetery came into use in the fifteen century and was used until the nineteenth century when it was replaced by the New Cemetery which was destroyed by the Nazis but is now being restored.
The oldest Jewsih headstone in Poland can be found here. It commemorates the life of Jacob Kopelman who died in 1541. Near this tombstone there are also tombstones of rabbi Szalom Szachna and Salomon Luria. A metal protection has been built over the grave of Jacob Isaac Horovitz-Sternfeld.
From the seventeenth century onwards, the stones became increasingly ornate with the inscriptions presenting the life and character of the deceased. In this film we can see various animals and plants - my favourite being the squirrel. Many stones also show hands raised in order to give a blessing or a hand holding a pen or books which would signify that the person had been a writer or especially learned.
