User:JulioBarks/Sulingen Jewish Cemetery

The Sulingen Jewish Cemetery is a well-preserved Jewish Cemetery in Sulingen (Landkreis Diepholz, Niedersachsen) and a cultural monument.

Description
The Jewish Cemetery is located on Memelstraße in a small area wooded with Oak trees. The cemetery is next to a nursing home in a neighborhood of single-family houses. The cemetery is split into two halves by a line of trees. The 30 Jewish gravestones (Mazewa) depict burials between 1844 and 1934. Due to the large gaps between the gravestones, it can be concluded that many have been lost.

After 1945, in a section of the cemetery, a memorial was erected to unknown Soviet prisoners of war who were buried in the cemetery during the Second World War.
