2. ↑ Due to rural depopulation and impoverishment after World War I the Jewish community in Volkmarsen had declined to 10 families by 1930. After Hitler's Machtergreifung in January 1933, Jews were also increasingly persecuted in Volkmarsen; the remaining ones were placed in a Judenhaus in 1939 and the remaining 23 deported in 1942.
