Einbeck was hit hard by the economic difficulties following the end of World War I , and from 1930 on , its citizens leaned toward non-democratic parties . During the last free vote before Hitler took power , the National Socialists ( NSDAP ) had a share of 40.9 % of the electorate in Einbeck . During the pogrom of November 1938 NSDAP followers set fire to the Synagogue . Of the 58 Jewish citizens of Einbeck ; 21 emigrated outside of Germany , 32 were killed or died of disease in concentration camps , 3 committed suicide , and five have not been able to be traced . A month before German surrender , the city manager of Einbeck ( without permission from his superiors ) gave over the city to United States troops on April 9 , 1945 . This helped Einbeck to survive the war physically undamaged
