Synagogues in Drenthe, The Netherlands

In the 18th century in Assen, as elsewhere in Drenthe, only three Jewish families were allowed to reside: a butcher, a merchant and a skinner. The first Jewish merchants settled in Assen in 1750. Although the arrival of a second merchant in 1774 led to protest, he was tolerated. Until 1800 they remained the only Jewish residents.

In the 20th century the Jews were mainly employed as merchants and cattle traders, small business owners and butchers. There were also some Jewish property owners and civil servants. During the years of Nazi occupation the Jews of Drenthe too were subject to the anti-Jewish measures.

After Jewish children were expelled from the institutions of public education in Assen in 1941, a Jewish school was established. This school existed until the summer of 1942. Most of the Jews of Assen were arrested in October 1942 and were subsequently deported to the east via the Westerbork transit camp. Only very few returned and just a few dozen survived the war in hiding. In 1988 the Jewish communities of Assen, Emmen and Hoogeveen were merged into the Nederlands Israëlitische Gemeente Drenthe.
