Synagogue at the Groen van Prinstererkade
Already before the war, the Jewish community in
Maassluis is to small to maintain the synagogue and other facilities in a
reasonable condition. The building was too expensive in maintenance and falls
into disrepair.
During the war the Maassluis municipality enact a bill for buying the synagogue
and its surroundings. Finally the local government of Maassluis buys the
synagogue complex in 1949 from the Jewish community of Rotterdam, who is the
heir of the Jewish social community of Maassluis. They demolish the complex in
1960. The location, nowadays consists of a parking lot and an electricity house.
