From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Jewish Cemetery (Worms))
The Jewish Cemetery in Worms or Heiliger Sand, in Worms, Germany, is usually called the oldest surviving Jewish cemetery in Europe,[1] although the Jewish burials in the Jewish sections of the Roman catacombs predate it by a millennium. The Jewish community of Worms was established by the late tenth century, but the oldest tombstone still legible dates form 1076. The last, 1940.[1][2]
