Holocaust
The black stone on the right-hand wall of the synagogue on Stationsstraat (60 metres to the left) bears the names of Jewish citizens who never returned—simply because they were Jewish.
But they were not the only victims. Other innocent groups were also deported to so-called “Konzentrationslager” and murdered: resistance fighters, Roma and Sinti, people with disabilities, and opponents of the Nazi regime.
Never before had the world witnessed such horror. Only after the war did the full extent of the atrocity become clear, and it came to be known as the Holocaust.
