Jewish community of Worms
Former community in Germany / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Jewish Community of Worms (קהילה קדושה ווירמייזא, the "Holy Community of Worms"[1]) was one of the oldest documented Jewish communities in the German-speaking region. Until its destruction by the Nazis, the Jewish community in Worms had continuously existed since the Middle Ages, with only relatively short interruptions. Due to this long tradition, it always held a prominent position in the memory culture of Ashkenazic Judaism.[2]
