| In Georgensmünd, today two
memorials remind us of the willingness to sacrifice and to die of the
Jewish-German soldiers. In the center of the community, to the left of the
bridge over the "fränkische Rezat", there is a memorial for the fallen
soldiers of the wars 1806-14, 1813 and 1814, 1866 and 1870 and 71. On the
front side of the obelisk, you will find the dedication:
Errichtet im Juli 1890 vom Veteranen=Verein
Georgensgmünd
(erected in july 1890 by the Veteranen=Verein Georgensmünd).
On the left plaque the names of the
combatants of the war of 1870/71 are listed, among them the Jewish soldier:
Lewy, Hrch.
Only a few metres away, to the right of the
bridge, you will find a memorial for the fallen soldiers of World War I.
Below the sculpture of a Bavaria lion and the dates 1914and1918,
with an Iron Cross and the inscription above it:UNSEREN IM WELTKRIEG
1914–18 GEBLIEBENEN HELDENSÖHNEN (to our heroic sons, who stayed in the
World War 1914-1918), the names of the dead soldiers are listed. Under the
date 1918 you will find the name of the Jewis-German soldier Gern
Heinr. Off.Stvl. 27.3.
