Da eine Urnenbeisetzung auf jüdischen Friedhöfen traditionell nicht vorgesehen ist, wurde von der Gemeinde für diese Unglücklichen auf dem Jüdischen Friedhof Dessauer Straße eine Sondergrabanlage angelegt.

The Halle (Saale) Synagogue

The Halle (Saale) Synagogue is a place of worship for the city's Jewish community (Approx. 700 members in Halle). The unadorned meeting hall is built with a Moorish flair, with large, arched windows. A tower in the middle of the front wall is topped with one of the four characteristic domes.

Sudstrasse 63: Halle/Saale

Sudstrasse 63: Halle/Saale

The house that belonged to my mother's uncle & aunt, Adolph & Therese Pfifferling, Sudstrasse (South Road) 63, had been used as a day care center for seniors, etc. (The day care center has since been moved to a larger building)
This is only a few blocks away from Frankestrasse 17, where my mother lived, which was also where the Pfifferling brothers had their livestock business. It seems (seeing as he such a big house) that Adolph, being the oldest of the three Pfifferling brothers, must have been the head of the family business.
