Jewish cemetery (Romanswiller)

Romanswiller Jewish Cemetery

The Jewish cemetery in Romanswiller , a French commune in the Bas-Rhin department of the Grand Est region , was probably laid out in the 18th century. The Jewish cemetery is not far from the communal cemetery, about 100 meters northwest on Rue des Vignes.

history

The Jewish cemetery in Romanswiller was expanded several times because it was also used to bury the dead of the Jewish communities in Wasselonne , Odratzheim and other places. It is still used today.

A memorial stone commemorates the 25 Jewish community members who were deported and murdered from Romanswiller, eight from Wasselonne and four from Odratzheim during the National Socialist era .
