In the early 1930s , the Nazi Party began to gain among Rostock 's voters , many of whom had suffered economic hardship during the 1920s . In elections in the summer 1932 , when the Nazis achieved 37.3 percent , their greatest national showing in a free election , they polled 40.3 percent in Rostock . A year later , after the Nazi seizure of power and the suppression of other political parties , the Rostock city council ( '' Stadtrat '' ) was composed entirely of Nazis . During '' Kristallnacht '' on 10 November 1938 , the Jewish synagogue in Rostock 's Augustenstrasse was destroyed by arson and dozens of Jews were beaten and imprisoned
