The SINZIG Cemetery in SINZIG, GERMANY

Location: In the city of Sinzig, surrounded on three sides by the Christian cemetery. On the fourth side is a locked gate leading to the street. The entrance is through the gate to  the Christian cemetery on Kührisdorfer Strasse and then turning right at the main path, past the oval in the center of the Christian cemetery and then via a little path to the left leading into the Jewish cemetery.

A Jewish memorial was erected at the Sinzig Jewish cemetery on Yom Hashoah 1992 due to the efforts of Richard Meyer of 20, Gordon Avenue, London SW 14 8DZ, England. Present at the unveiling were Mr. and Mrs. Meyer, Dr. Heinz Kahn (President of the Koblenz Jewish Community) and Inge Kahn of Polch, Sinzig Mayor Robert Hesch and others. Rabbi Üdit Kaiserlautern of Rheinpfalz officiated. The inscription on the memorial reads:
