The Meier's German Adventure

From there, we headed to the Jewish Quarter of town. This is a picture of the old Jewish Cemetery. For over 300 years, it was the only burial ground permitted for the Jews.It was founded in 1478 and the last burial here took place in 1787. Today, there are over 12,000 gravestones crammed into this tiny space. It is estimated that there may be over 100,000 people buried here. It was closed to visitors today which was unfortunate.
