Four people at Mosaic West Cemetery

In addition to the digital and physical city map, four videos have been made that tell about some of the people buried at Mosaisk Vestre Begravelsesplads. The videos were made by film director Simon Sumborg with a script by Bent Blüdnikow and voice by Bent Lexner. The videos were produced with a grant from the Municipality of Copenhagen to the Jewish Community.

Clara Lachmann 

Clara married a wealthy Jewish man in Copenhagen and they moved to Ystad. He became one of Sweden's richest men and owned sugar factories. She was behind a foundation to promote Scandinavianism, which still distributes financial grants. Her gravesite is one of the most beautiful in Vestres.

Ludvig Israel Brandes 

Ludvig was a famous doctor in the 1800th century and a street in Frederiksberg is named after him. The main building at the Danish Agricultural University is his old hospital building.

Gottlieb Gedalia 

Gottlieb was called Baron Gedalia. He was the most colorful financial man of the 1800th century. He was behind the formation of the Landmandsbanken and much else. A bit of a money genius, but he went bankrupt.

Melanie Oppenheim 

Melanie married in Copenhagen and became one of the important active women of the Jewish community. It was crucial in the 1930s that she became responsible for the Jugend Aliya children. She and her family were taken to Theresienstadt. The film shows a unique 3D film recording from the 1930s of Melanie together with Jugend Aliya children.
