On Sunday Tamar and I took a tour of the old Jewish quarter which included a museum and cemetery. The first photo is a grove of trees pruned to have six branches representing a Star of David. The next photo is a section of the wall surrounding the cemetery which contains markers for every Jew from Frankfurt killed in the Holocaust. The first gravesite is for a woman who lived to be 103, died in the 1800’s. Supposedly she had five children after the age of 63. Women who are having difficulty getting pregnant come to her grave to pray. The other gravestone is for a man who had 28 combubines. The officials were going to castrate him but some of his mistresses were able to rescue him. The two photos from inside the museum are foundations of homes in the Jewish quarter reconstructed from some of the original stones and the stairwell down onto the mikvah(Jewish ritual bath).
