Strijen
A
small number of Jewish families settled in Strijen in the province
of South- Holland at the beginning of the 19th century. Prior to
1857, the Jews of Strijen belonged to the Jewish community at Oud-Beijerland; thereafter they
enjoyed independent status. In 1857, the community built a
synagogue of its own on the Kerkstraat. A Jewish school located on
the Boompjesstraat was opened in 1874. Twenty years later, the
Strijen community established a cemetery on the Oud
Bonaventurasedijk in the northern part of the village. The cemetery
was also used by the Jews of 's-Gravendeel en
Puttershoek.
The management board of the Strijen community consisted of two
members. The community maintained a single voluntary organization,
a burial society. The Jews of Strijen worked as watchmakers,
livestock traders, and butchers.
During the World War II German occupation of the Netherlands almost
all the Jews of Strijen were deported and murdered. After the war,
the synagogue was converted into a private residence. In 1948, the
Jewish community of Strijen was dissolved and the locale placed
under the jurisdiction of the Jewish community at Rotterdam. The
Jewish cemetery at Strijen was repaired and cleaned in 1988; it is
currently maintained by the local authorities.
