InfoField
Jüdischer Friedhof Ledderken

Dieser Friedhof wurde von der ehemaligen
Jüdischen Gemeinde zu Witten gekauft,
nachdem der alte Begräbnisplatz auf dem
Helenenberg nicht mehr erweitert werden
konnte. Die noch vorhandenen alten Grab-
steine mit zum Teil hebräischen Inschriften
dokumentieren eune jahrhundert alte
mosaische Begräbnistradition. Sie gehören
zu den letzten Zeugnissen jüdischen Lebens
in Witten.

Von 1893 bis 1941 wurden an diesem Ort
209 Personen beigesetzt. Im hinteren Teil
befinden sich die nach 1945 angelegten
Gräber.

An die nationalsozialistische Verfolgungs-
zeit und an die Menschen, die in Konzen-
trationslagern ermordet wurden, erinnern
einige Familiengräber mit Inschriften wie
„umgekommen in Auschwitz“.

Seit 1962 ist der Jüdische Friedhof Ledderken
im Besitz des Landesverbandes der Jüdischen
Kultusgemeinde von Westfalen-Lippe.
