The entry in the death list of Lüneburg"s Jewish community points to a very sad story: “Name: Adolph Jacoby, age: 18 3/4 years, parents: unknown, occupation: Fusilier of the XII. company of the IV. Westphalian Infantery Regiment No. 17, place of residence: Danzig, date of death: July 6, 1868, manner of death: suicide by shooting”.
What had happened? And why was the Jewish fusilier from Danzig buried in the cemetery in Lüneburg, so far away from home? As of now, there are no answers to these questions.
