Beth Hachajim – Haus des Lebens

Beth Hachajim – Haus des Lebens 1994 Directed by Jens Huckeriede

In April 1992, ultra-orthodox Jews of the Athra-Kadisha came to Hamburg to demonstrate against the final destruction of the Jewish cemetery. The cemetery, where bones still lie, was to be built on with a shopping centre. The film shows the history of this Jewish cemetery, recalls the former Jewish community in Altona and gives an insight into Jewish religious life and culture.
