Hainsfarth was called "Judendorf" because it was the village with the largest Jewish community in Bavaria until the beginning of the 19th century . Today the restored synagogue and the small Jewish cemetery are the only visible witnesses of this past. In 1942 the last six Jewish residents of Hainsfarth were deported .
Ida Oltmann (84), the "Friedhofswally" Walburga Wagner (95) and former mayor Max Engelhardt (77) look after the Jewish heritage. With their memories, the image of a lost world emerges. The local Jews once determined the everyday life of the people in Hainsfarth and gave them work. The family of Therese Giehse came just from here as the Munich banking family Aufhauser .
The personal life stories of the elderly villagers create a rare and impressive piece of Bavarian history from the everyday perspective of a small village.
