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.
