Brummen
In 1727, the first Jew to settle in the vicinity of Brummen
arrived at the nearby town of Bronkhorst. He was granted a permit
from the local authorities but was obliged to pay a special
quarterly tax in return.
From 1811 on, a Jewish cemetery, located at the Manenveld, was in
use. From 1818, regular synagogue services were held in a private
home.
In 1859, Brummen was recognized as a Bijkerk or
local congregation by the central consistory of Dutch Jewry. In
1889, the Brummen community completed construction of a
full-fledged synagogue at the corner of the Tuinstraat and
Primulastraat.
The Jews of Brummen were employed in trade, textiles, and the meat
processing and agricultural sectors. Brummen also boasted a Jewish
café owner. In 1916, the membership of the community voted to sell
their synagogue. In 1917, the Brummen community was voluntarily
dissolved and merged into that of the nearby city of Zutphen.
Brummen's former synagogue was razed in1962. The Jewish cemetery
at Bronkhorst has been maintained by local authorities since 1968.
In 1980, the adjacent municipality of Steenderen purchased, and
subsequently restored, the cemetery's house for the ritual washing
of the dead.
In 1988, a stone in memory of the Jews of Brummen and vicinity
murdered by the Nazis was unveiled at the site of the former
synagogue.
