Jewish School (Oldenburg)

The former Jewish school carried out several changes of location during its existence: After the locations in Peterstraße 6 and in Nordstraße 2 Alteneschstraße 15 (former Catholic school) followed as the seat of the Jewish school in Oldenburg. In July 1939, the decree was announced that all public Jewish schools were to be dissolved. Nevertheless, the Jews had to provide for the education of their children, but from now on in the form of private schools. The state was no longer willing to pay for the education of Jewish children. Thus, in August 1939, the location of the school changed to Kurwickstraße 5.
Shortly before (in July) the teacher Katzenberg had given up his employment and emigrated to England. He was replaced by Ernst Israel Beer.
