Information comes from Vol. 1 of the book, 'Les Cimitieres Israelite de Moselle' of Jean-Pierre BERNARD, was documented by him and his wife, Huguette in 1996. The only cemetry for the area., it dates to the mid-19th century. The original wall was destroyed in 1944 along with 80% of the village, and rebuilt in 1958. By 1966 the 1958 wall was gone. Many stones are lying on the ground, and some are covered by the earth. We are deeply grateful to Jean-Pierre Bernard and the CGJ of Paris which published the volume for their gracious permission to place this data on JOWBR.
