Lemmer
At least one Jewish family resided in Lemmer by 1740. Beginning in 1770, Jews arriving or departing from or to Amsterdam by ferry at Lemmer could purchase Kosher meals at the De Wyldeman Inn, which was managed by a non-Jewish proprietor.
The Jews of Lemmer purchased a plot of land at the foot of the Zeedijk for use as a cemetery in 1801. The oldest remaining gravestone in the cemetery is dated 1817. Problems caused by floods led the community to replace the cemetery with a new one at the village of Tacozijl in 1876.
A synagogue, located on the Schans te Lemmer was opened in 1820.
It was renovated with the support of the local municipality in 1866
and remained open until 1920 when it was sold and rebuilt as a
private residence.
The Jews of Lemmer did not maintain any voluntary organizations
until 1906 when it established a joint burial society and Torah
study fellowship. The Lemmer community was placed under the aegis
of the community at Sneek in 1924.
The few Jews who remained in Lemmer at the outset of the German
occupation of the Netherlands during the Second World War were
deported in 1941 and murdered in Nazi death camps. Their names are
recorded on a monument in the Jewish cemetery at Tacozijl.
The cemetery at Tacozijl was restored in 1989 and is now maintained
by the Frisian nature protection society It Fryske
Gea.
