Caption: Interior of Old Jewish Cemetery (photo taken through cemetery gate)
Additional Description: "In 1942 the National Socialists demolished approximately 4666 gravestones and piled up the rubble for removal. Some of these stone heaps can still be seen today. 175 gravestones were removed, but not crushed.... In the 1950s the gravestones were returned to the cemetery, but because there was no information on their original location they could only be placed along the cemetery wall...." - Jewish Sites in Frankfurt am Main
