Van reliwiki.nl:

Tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog zijn bijna alle joodse inwoners naar Polen gedeporteerd. Slechts een enkeling kon onderduiken en heeft zo de oorlog overleefd. In 1948 werd de joodse gemeente van Bourtange officieel bij die van Stadskanaal gevoegd. De synagoge werd verkocht en is sinds 1989 in gebruik als Joods Synagogaal Museum. Aan de muur is een herinneringsplaquette aangebracht met de namen van de joodse burgers die tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog zijn gedeporteerd en vermoord. In mei 2000 werd in het museum een reconstructie van het mikwe opengesteld.

De plaquette begint met de tekst van de thora: Gedenk wat Almalek u gedaan heeft ... vergeet het niet . Dan wordt een lijst van de 46 gedeporteerden uit Bourtange getoont met hun leeftijden.

From reliwiki.nl:

During World War II, almost all Jewish residents were deported to Poland. Only a few were able to go into hiding and thus survived the war. In 1948 the Jewish community of Bourtange was officially added to that of Stadskanaal. The synagogue was sold and has been used as a Jewish Synagogue Museum since 1989. On the wall is a memorial plaque with the names of the Jewish civilians who were deported and murdered during World War II. In May 2000, a reconstruction of the Mikveh opened in the museum.

The plaque begins with the text of the Torah: Remember what Almalek did to you ... don't forget. Then a list of the 46 deportees from Bourtange is shown with their ages.
