Start of the "Action against Jews" on November 10, 1938
Meeting point City Museum
No registration necessary, free of charge

The so-called "Action against Jews" began in Rastatt on the morning of November 10 when Jewish men were arrested and taken to the district prison. Young people and party members were called together by the Nazi district leadership, marched through the streets and vandalized homes and businesses. In the afternoon, the synagogue was destroyed and in the evening, SS men escorted the prisoners to the train station, who were pelted with stones, kicked and abused on the way. The ruins of the synagogue were demolished shortly after the fire at the expense of the Jewish community. The surviving cantor's house with its documentation room still bears witness to the once flourishing Jewish life in Rastatt.
