's-Graveland

The first Jews to settle in 's-Graveland arrived in the town in 1811 from Hilversum and Assen. During the first half of the nineteenth century, the Jewish population of 's-Graveland remained too small to permit the formation of an independent community. Only in 1859, in the aftermath of the resolution of a conflict and split within the Jewish community at nearby Hilversum -- to which the Jews of 's-Graveland formally belonged at the time -- was the 's-Graveland community granted independent status. The community was merged back into that of Hilversum in 1906. At the time, most of the Jews in 's-Graveland worked as butchers.

Between 1858 en 1906, the Jews of 's-Graveland maintained a synagogue of their own located in in the backroom of a building located in the Noordereinde. The front room of the building served as the community's schoolroom. The 's-Graveland community buried its dead in a cemetery located in the Koninginneweg in the village of Kortenhoef. Only ten gravestones remain to be seen in the cemetery which currently is maintained by the local authorities.
