Most of the attention concerning the Jewish population of Wertheim is centered on the cemetery out of town. But in the middle of downtown is a nice little tribute to those from the area who lost their lives in the Shoah. There are said to be 35 of them.You can find it in an alley fairly close to Market Square.
Meanwhile, the cemetary is one of the oldest of its kind in Germany. It dates back to the 1400s, although it added space early in the 1700s. Interestingly enough, you can go to the tourist information office and get the key to the cemetery.
