Photographer Marcel Th. Jacobs documented the ten Jewish cemeteries belonging to the nine communities along the Jewish Cultural Trail of Hohenlohe-Tauber using his analog Leica camera. For the first time, the Jewish Museum of Creglingen is presenting 40 selected photographs from this collection. The images are accompanied by detailed information on the local context and the history of the cemeteries featured in the exhibition.
This exhibition is the result of a collaboration between the Jewish Museum of Creglingen and the Friends of Jewish Cemeteries in Central European Culture in Berlin.
Exhibition dates: September 26 to November 10, 2024.
Opening hours: Sundays, 2 p.m. – 5 p.m.

The “Jewish Värmland” temporary exhibition, a collaboration between the Värmland Museum and the Swedish Jewish Museum in Stockholm, explores Jewish life and history in the Värmland County, in west-central Sweden.
One of the main attractions of the exhibition will be the reconstruction of the synagogue of Karlstad, the county’s capital, a wooden structure built in 1899 and demolished in 1961.
Although there is no longer an active Jewish community in the county, a testament to the local Jewish life and history is the small, well kept Jewish cemetery, which can be visited in 3D by clicking here. The Jewish cemetery was opened in the late 1890s.
