Although much of the town resisted early National Socialism , and the town leaders had refused Adolf Hitler a chance to address the community in 1932 , they were not able to escape the reach of the Nazis entirely . Ahrweiler had a small Jewish community before the Nazis came to power , but they were all taken away and relocated , some to concentration camps , after 1933 . No member of this community ever returned to Ahrweiler , and today , the town 's old synagogue that was desecrated during 1938 Kristallnacht , is used for art displays
