You can enter the cemetery. An important place of remembrance. The memorial stone reads: "In memory of the members of the Israelite religious community of Hahnheim who died as a result of the Nazi regime. The cemetery was destroyed by Nazis in 1944 (1945?!) and the gravestones were used as a tank barrier."
Never again is now.

The Jewish cemetery in Hahnheim was established in the second half of the 19th century (around 1884?).

An article in the "Frankfurter Israelitisches Familienblatt" (Frankfurt Jewish Family Journal) reports on the desecration of the cemetery at the end of 1904:

Hahnheim Ff IsrFambl 06011905.jpg (22506 bytes) Article in the "Frankfurter Israelitisches Familienblatt" of January 6, 1905: "Hahnheim (Rheinhessen). Because of the gravestones recently demolished in the Jewish cemetery, the investigating magistrate has repeatedly conducted interrogations; however, these have so far been unsuccessful."
