According to official ascertainment there were at the end of 1939 still 64 Jewish people living in the county of Huenfeld, who after the start of the war were trapped and had to be registered in a particularly drawn up ”List of Jews”.

As of January 1, 1939 male Jews were forced  to add "Israel” to their name, and female Jews ”Sarah”, in order for them to be immediately identifiable as being Jewish.
