Jews began to settle in Trzemeszno at the turn of the nineteenth century and had been living there until the autumn of 1939. Their history is still little known and needs a lot of research. An approach will be sought, and hopefully answers to many yet unsolved problems will be found.
The date of the cemetery’s opening — most probably already in the beginning of the nineteenth century — remains unknown. During the Second World War the cemetery was desecrated. For the time being, restoration work is in progress. The history of the cemetery will be presented here, together with pictures of gravestones that survived destruction and with biographical sketches of the individuals who were buried there.
Present day
Here testimonies of descendants of Jews from Trzemeszno will be presented, as well as memoirs of Trzemeszno citizens remembering the last Jews of their town. There will also be information on projects to teach the inhabitants of Trzemeszno about Jewish history and to remember the former Jewish community of this town.
I did not know that Paula had a brother, Leo Loewenthal. Or a sister-in-law, Margarete Loewenthal, née Stein. Or a niece, Hanne. I did not know that she had aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews who had remained in Trzemeszno. I did not know that 18 of her relatives had perished. Here are their names and their fates. I name them to honour them and to acknowledge that they lived, loved, mattered.
Tradition and culture
Under the tab “Jewish tradition and culture” information will be given on the most popular Jewish holidays, rituals, and traditions, as well as on interesting details of the Jewish religion and its history. The tab will also lead to references to books about Judaica and the Shoah.

Here artifacts will be shown that have a relation to Jews from Trzemeszno and that belong to museums and private collections.
