In five modules, we will embark on a respectful journey through Jewish cemeteries – in general and specifically the Jewish Cemetery in Görlitz. Module 1 provides basic information about visiting, the dignity of the sites and appropriate behaviour. Module 2 focuses on maintenance: gravestones, monuments, preservation methods and the importance of upkeep. Module 3 tells the life stories of those buried here and places them in the context of Görlitz's city history. Module 4 provides insights into culture, traditions and Jewish religious practice. Module 5 addresses anti-Semitism and desecration, past and present – with references to protection, investigation and respect. You can look forward to in-depth knowledge, source references and sensitivity.
