Bolzum Jewish Cemetery
The Jewish cemetery Bolzum is a well-preserved Jewish cemetery in Bolzum , a district of Sehnde in the Hanover region . It is located north of the village on the farm road to Sehnde (extension of the Pfingstanger road ).
The cemetery has been occupied since 1825 and contains 40 tombstones . The last grave (without a tombstone) was made for Klara Rose in 1939. A memorial plaque on her grave has been commemorating her and her family murdered in the Riga ghetto since 2007.
In 2014 strangers knocked over three tombstones in the cemetery. Previously there had been no such occurrences here for at least 40 years. It is not known whether the act was anti-Semitically motivated or related to the announced visit of a 92-year-old Jewish woman who was a survivor of the Holocaust from Sehnde. In 2017 the cemetery received a new fence.
