The presence of a Jewish community in Bordeaux dates back several centuries of history. This community grew considerably after the promulgation of the Edict of Granada (March 31, 1492), whereby the Catholic Monarchs expelled the Jews from the crowns of Castile and Aragon. This situation led to the fact that, together with the persecution of the Inquisition, it caused many Jews to cross the Pyrenees, and constitute several communities in southern France that flourished throughout the centuries.
During the German occupation of France, the synagogue was sacked, and served as a refuge for Jews who had no chance of fleeing from Vichy France; This group, composed of about 1600 families, was deported to various concentration camps.
