This project seeks to collect all of the Jewish families from the town of Nassau/Lahn (Hessen), Germany.
JewishGen-Nassau/Lahn (Hessen)
Though this small town, located on the river Lahn between Koblenz and Limburg, was historically named as Nassau-Hessen, it is, in fact, in the region of Rheinland-Pfalz (i.e. not in the region currently known as Hessen)
Information can be found in various sources - mainly only in German:

The synagogue, officially opened in 1858, was desecrated in the november Pogrom of 1938, destroxed by bombing in 1945 and the ruins finally removed at a subsequent date.
There is, however, still a small Jewish Cemetery - cf. a photo here:
