history
The history of the former Jewish community of Tholey goes back to the early 18th century. So was the parishioner, Bella Bähr geb. Marx (1821–1906) a cousin of Karl Marx . The cemetery was used from around 1800 to the 1930s - until the deportation or expulsion of the Tholey Jews. The cemetery was devastated in 1940 - at the same time that today's town hall was "aryanized". The mass deportation of Saarland Jews to the Gurs camp in southern France on October 22, 1940 affected 13 people from Tholey.
