Not quite 700 Jews were deported from the Waldeck-Frankenberg district during the Nazi era. These 700 people did not live together in a single place, but were spread across many communities in the district:
But not only Jews fell victim to the madness of racism; Sinti and Roma, disabled people, Jehovah's Witnesses, homosexuals and political dissidents were marginalised, persecuted, deported and exterminated.
The district of Waldeck-Frankenberg has erected a memorial to these victims in the garden of the synagogue for all those deported during the Nazi era. It was created by the artist E. R. Nele.
