Jewish History, POI & Kosher Establishments in Klaipeda

Despite legal prohibitions on settlement, Jews lived in Memel from 1567. In 1643, Jewish merchants were given permission to stay overnight in the town for the Sabbath. While just 488 Jews lived in the city in 1905, the Jewish population grew dramatically in the period after World War I, as did the number of Jewish-owned businesses. On 22 March 1939, the region was annexed by Nazi Germany. Almost all of Klaipėda’s 7,000 Jews managed to escape to Lithuania, and the Nazis seized all Jewish property in the town. Jews returned in 1945, and by 1967 the Jewish population numbered about 1,000, although there was no synagogue or Jewish cemetery.
