I'm doing now a project in the SchUM cities, which will eventually became a similar zine that I made on hungarian abandoned jewish cemeteries - you can still order this btw. Here in Worms I encountered few of the rarest symbols that I ever saw on jewish tombstones, one of them is this cute hat (?). Its a rather unique thing from here as I learned - the houses of the jewish quarter had their own symbols and they put that on their tombstones as well.
