Most of the synagogues in Frankfurt were destroyed by the Nazis on Kristallnacht in late 1938 , deportation of the Jewish residents to their deaths in the Nazi concentration camps quickening in pace after the event . Their property and valuables were stolen by the Gestapo before deportation , and most were subjected to extreme violence and sadism during transport to the train stations for the cattle wagons which carried them east . Most later deportees ( after the war began in 1939 ) ended up in new ghettoes established by the Nazis such as the Warsaw Ghetto and the Lodz ghetto , before their final transportation and murder in camps such as Sobibor , Belzec and Treblinka
