The Jewish community in Barcin (German Bartschin ), a Polish town in the powiat Żniński in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship , was founded in the 18th century and dissolved in 1932.
history
In 1783 the Jewish community consisted of 71 people. The Jews in Barcin worked as traders and craftsmen. The number of parishioners doubled in the 19th century. The Jewish inhabitants of the surrounding villages also belonged to the Jewish community of Barcin.
The Jewish community owned a cemetery , which was probably laid out around 1780, a synagogue built in the 1830s, and a religious school.
After the dissolution of the Barcin Jewish community in 1932, their relatively small property passed to the Szubin Jewish community . The last Jewish residents left the place before the outbreak of the Second World War . The synagogue building was partially destroyed during the war and restored for another use after the war. In 2008 a memorial plaque was unveiled to commemorate the synagogue .
The memorial book of the Federal Archives lists 36 Jewish citizens born in Barcin who fell victim to the genocide of the National Socialist regime .
