Among the oldest records in the database are hundreds of images from Worms, Germany- the oldest Jewish cemetery in Europe. They have survived countless pogroms, expolusions, and the Holocaust. Miracously, the Hebrew letters engraved more than 700 years ago, are relatively easy to read. This image, for example tells about Alexander son of Yosef, who was murdered (in Hebrew- "al kidush Hashem"- for the sanctification of G-D's name) in the year 1244. Many more images from this location and so many others are posted at www.jewishdata.com |
