The youth and educational home of the German Jewish Community Federation located in Wolzig is of great historical importance. The home stood for tolerance towards Judaism, was able to accommodate a large number of Jewish youth for centuries until the National Socialists came to power in 1933, and played an important role in social and economic life. It was the only German state-approved welfare educational home that maintained the ritual acts from Jewish customs and in this way commemorated the heyday of Jewish life.

A Jewish cemetery can be traced in Rathenow since 1699. This old cemetery had to make way for a city expansion in 1905 and was abandoned. Outside the city, near the former village of Neufriedrichsdorf, a new cemetery was established, which was destroyed in 1941, the perpetrators were children, members of the Jungvolk. After the war, the cemetery – or what was left of it – fell into oblivion, which was used as a Müllplatz. In the 1970s there was aufgeräumt, the 13 gravestones found thereby were set up in 1993 before the rear cemetery wall.

In 1934, Jewish youths were forbidden to undergo manual or agricultural training. In order to immigrate to Palestine, however, Jews needed such training. For this reason, Hachshara camps were established for Jewish youths, where they could receive such training. In 1933, a Berlin lawyer, Dr. H. A. Meyer, bought an estate in Steckelsdorf to establish a camp for Bachad/Brith Chaluzim Datiim (Bund religiöser Pioniere). There could be accommodated about 30 to 100 people.

The “Private Waldschule Kaliski” was founded in 1932 by the Jewish teacher Lotte Kaliski, after she came to Berlin a year earlier and found no employment, partly because of her physical disability. The school was first opened in Eichkamp. Until 1934, Jewish and non-Jewish children were taught there under reformist educational approaches. From Easter 1934, all non-Jewish children and teachers had to leave the school.

As late as August 1840, the Chief Rabbi Dr. Ullmann had submitted an application for the establishment of a Jewish elementary school - a predecessor of today's elementary schools. This application was supported by Mayor Leysner of the city of Krefeld. A school building was erected towards the end of the same year. The school rooms were located at Lohstraße 613. From 1853, the Jewish school moved to premises at Petersstraße 159 (today house number 41) due to lack of space. In 1860, the Jewish community acquired the house at Felbelstraße 15 (later 26) to accommodate its growing student body.
