Zuidland
Jews resided in Zuidland from the 18th century
on. For most of the 19th century, the Jews of Zuidland officially
belonged to the Jewish community at Heenvliet; however, the Zuidland community
was recognized as an independent Jewish community in its own right
late in the century. In 1887, a building on the Breedstraat was
renovated to serve as the Zuidland community's synagogue; prior to
then, local Jews had prayed in the home of one of their numbers. A
Jewish cemetery, located on the Kerkweg, was established in 1888. A
split in the community in 1911 led the more orthodox Jews of
Zuidland to rejoin the community at Heenvliet; thereafter,
religious services at Zuidland were held in a rented room.
The majority of the Jews at Zuidland worked in the textile trade,
as livestock traders, and in the meat processing industry. Local
Jews maintained two voluntary organizations: a youth organization
and a women's society.
In October and November of 1942, under the World War II German
occupation of the Netherlands, all the Jews of Zuidland were
deported and later murdered. The Zuidland community was officially
dissolved after the war and the locale placed within the
jurisdiction of the Jewish community at Rotterdam. The Jewish cemetery at Zuidland
has been maintained by the local authorities since 1965 and was
refurbished in 1991. Today, the names of several streets in
Zuidland reflect connections to Israel and honoring of the vanished
local Jewish community.
