Judischer Friedhof Weissensee

Herbert-Baum-Straße 45, Weißensee, Berlin, Germany
Tel: +49 30 925 08 33
 

With sand-coloured tombstones stretching as far as the eye can see, the world's biggest Jewish cemetery is reminiscent of a stony desert. Europe's biggest Jewish cemetery in Weissensee is more like a forest. Ancient trees, bent by age, tower over the ivy-covered tombstones. On the tombstones lie pebbles, placed there as a sign of respect by friends and relatives. Founded in 1880, the cemetery has a tinge of romance and would almost be an enjoyable place were it not for memories of Germany's horrific past. There is a tomb for the ninety torah scrolls destroyed by the Nazis in 1938 and a special memorial to the victims of the Holocaust.
