The community (united with Duisburg) numbered 2,560 in 1933. On Kristallnacht, the synagogue was set on fire and 40 Jewish homes were vandalised. The remaining 809 Jews in Hamborn were crowded into 11 Jewish houses from which they were deported in 1941 to ghettos in the east and later to extermination camps.
