Eibergen
Eibergen's location on the Dutch-German border made
it attractive to German Jewish settlers, who arrived regularly
beginning in 1643. In 1786, seven Jewish families in Eibergen paid
an annual municipal head tax, the "Jodentribuut" (Jewish Tribute).
A Jewish cemetery - referred to by locals as the "Jodenbelt"
(Jewish Swath) - was in use prior to 1756. The cemetery was located
outside of Eibergen on the Berkel River on the present-day Rekkense
Binnenweg. A synagogue existed in Eibergen prior to 1797.
The Eibergen community grew over the first half of the nineteenth
century. In 1848, the community built a new synagogue in the middle
of the village on the Kleine Hagen. Religious lessons were offered
at the synagogue for many years, with only a few brief
interruptions. Community organizations in Eibergen included a
synagogue council, study fellowship, and a women's society, which
also cared for the synagogue's ceremonial objects.
Half of the Jews of Eibergen were deported and
murdered during the Second World War. The other half managed to
survive the war in hiding. The interior of the synagogue was
ransacked during the war.
The Eibergen community was administratively disbanded in 1947 and
officially merged into that of Borculo. The synagogue building was sold to the
municipality and was later razed in 1961. A monument in memory of
the deported Jews of Eibergen was unveiled in 1990. The cemetery is
maintained by the municipality.
