Sörgenloch Jewish community
The Jewish community in Sörgenloch , a local community in the Mainz-Bingen district in Rhineland-Palatinate , originated in the 18th century and existed until the 1920s.
history
The Jewish community of Sörgenloch owned a synagogue built in 1893 and a cemetery that was laid out around 1880.
In the 1920s the Jewish community was dissolved and the few Jewish people still living in Sörgenloch joined the Jewish community in Nieder-Olm .
In 1933 only two Jewish people lived in Sörgenloch. The last Jewish resident married in Saulheim in 1940 and was able to emigrate shortly before the deportations began in 1942.
The memorial book of the Federal Archives lists two Jewish citizens born in Sörgenloch who fell victim to the genocide of the National Socialist regime : Emma Klara Michel b. Wolf (born 1882), Ernst Schlösser (born 1884)
