found the answer to the 1927 graves: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massacre_of_July_15%2C_1927
gotta love wikipedia.....
and on the gravestone '6000001 fur die lebenden' - translates to roughly '6 million and one for the living'. A quick web search seems to indicate something related to the holocaust. Beyond that, not sure.... Little more digging, that's approximately the number of jews killed during the holocaust.
