The Jewish community of Adelebsen had its beginnings in the late 17th century , with the first documented Jewish family appearing in a tax list of 1675 . In 1796 there were 20 Jewish families in the town . By the 19th century , the Jewish community had grown to be one of the largest in the region . In 1848 , 149 Jewish residents comprised 13 % of the town 's total population . But the size of the community declined steadily in the late 19th to early 20th century , so that by 1925 there were only 46 Jews living in Adelebsen , making up 3 % of the population . During the Nazi regime , the community was destroyed by deportation , immigration and killings . The local synagogue was destroyed during Kristallnacht , the night of 9 – 10 November 1938 , by SS members from Göttingen , joined by local SS members of Adelebsen
