The population of Göttingen supported Hitler and Nazism from an early date . As early as 1933 the Theaterplatz ( Theater Square ) was renamed Adolf-Hitlerplatz , and by the end of World War II 70 streets had been renamed in reference to the Nazi regime or military topics . The absorption of Nazi culture into the everyday life of the citizens of Göttingen has been documented by historian David Imhoof . The synagogue in Göttingen was destroyed during '' Kristallnacht '' on 9 November 1938 . Many of the Jews were killed in Nazi German extermination camps . Also , there was a concentration camp for adolescents in Moringen , which was not liberated until 1945
