Unna Old Age Home
"We also know that the community maintained an old age home—established on Muehlenstrasse in 1905, it had its own cemetery—as well as an organization for hosting Jewish guests and a ritual burial association...In 1939, Unna’s remaining Jews were moved into a few apartments and the old-age home... Commemorative plaques have been affixed... to the house on Muehlenstrasse; "
