Jewish community Hürben

The Jewish community of Hürben was a Jewish community existing from 1675 to 1942 in the Swabian town of Hürben - since 1902 part of the town of Krumbach (Swabia) - in the district of Günzburg in Bavaria. It included 652 community members in 1840 and 123 in 1900. In 1938, all Jewish citizens of Hürben still living there were initially taken to the Günzburg prison. By 1941, 27 people were able to emigrate, another 18 moved to other towns and the last 16 were deported from Hürben and murdered in 1942. In total, 38 Jews who were born in Hürben or Krumbach or lived here for a long time perished during the National Socialist era.
