Participants of the Kristallnacht burned the Old Synagogue to the ground along with the relics contained within and also destroyed its Jewish cemetery . The next year the Nazi regime began the arrests and deportation of Stuttgart 's Jewish inhabitants , beginning with the entire male Jewish population of Stuttgart , to the police-run prison camp at Welzheim or directly to Dachau .
