Nothing more is known about the history of a Jewish cemetery in Bergen. The cemetery is said to have still existed as a part of the municipal cemetery in the 1950s.

Fritz Rosenbaum, born on September 4, 1893 in Soest was a nephew of Sabine Rosenbaum, who was co-owner of the Rosenbaum department store at Brüderstraße 30. Due to the denunciation of an employee on the occasion of a derogatory remark about a swastika flag and a bawling SA troop, Sabine Rosenbaum was driven through the streets of Soest in mid-March 1934 with a sign hung around her, "I am an old Jewish woman and have insulted Adolf Hitler's flag." Sabine Rosenbaum died on February 25, 1942 in the St. Ida Hospital in Hovestadt.

In 1909, the Jewish community of Leer built a school building in what was then Deichstraße, which was to serve as both a religious and a (public) elementary school. Before that, the pupils* had been taught in a house in Kirchstraße since the 1840s/50s (cf. Beykirch 2006, 32f.). Until its closure, four teachers (Lasser Abt, Ignaz Popper, Hermann Spier and Seligmann Hirschberg) taught successively at the Jewish School Leer.
