  • "Im Jahre 1933 lebten noch 118 jüdische Personen in Gedern, aber bereits 1937 waren alle zuvor in Gedern ansässigen Juden aufgrund der Repressalien geflohen."
  • "Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde die örtliche Synagoge in ein Wirtshaus umgewandelt. Durch den Umbau des Hauses deutet heute nichts mehr auf die ehemalige Nutzung hin. Im Jahr 2010 wurde vor dem Gebäude eine Gedenktafel errichtet, auf der 35 Namen von Familien genannt sind, die zwischen 1933 und 1937 Gedern verlassen mussten. Der neue und der alte Judenfriedhof von Gedern wurden nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg in einen würdigen Zustand versetzt und werden seitdem fortlaufend von der Kommune gepflegt."
