The Landjuden of Euskirchen: The Sibilla Schneider Photographic Collection
Sibilla Schneider was a descendant of the Juelich family that lived in and
around the small town of Euskirchen, Germany, which is located about sixty kilometres from
the town of Juelich. She and her family
belonged to the social group of landjuden, or “country Jews”,
which flourished throughout Europe from the Alsace to Slovakia until their lifestyle disappeared in the Shoah. In this online exhibition, you can view nearly three dozen fine (mostly studio) photographs of the Schneider-Juelich-Heumann families from Euskirchen, and learn a bit about their family history.
Founder and Director of the
Museums of Family History and the Museum of the Yiddish Theatre, two virtual museums dedicated to honoring the Jewish family and history for the present and future generations, as well as the history of the Yiddish theatre.
