The Jewish Cemetery in Worms, known as Heiliger Sand, is indeed often referred to as the oldest surviving Jewish cemetery in Europe. The earliest legible tombstone dates back to 1058/59, marking it as a site of significant historical and cultural importance. This cemetery, along with other medieval Jewish sites in Worms, Speyer, and Mainz, was recognized for its cultural value and was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2021. Despite the existence of older Jewish burial sites, such as those in the Roman catacombs, Heiliger Sand's continuous use and preservation make it a unique testament to the enduring Jewish presence and heritage in Europe.
