When in the early eighteenth century, several Jewish families moved Dalen, they bought a piece of land outside the village for the construction of a private cemetery.
In connection with the prophecy spoken of by Ezekiel (Ezekiel 37!), that all deceased Jews would be resurrected in their physical body to return to Israel, it was very important that the graves would remain untouched throughout the centuries. Hence the acquisition of property in the cemetery. 
When the Jews in Coevorden in 1768 had access to their own synagogue with a cemetery, the Daler Jews attended there now and were also buried there. The Daler cemetery was not used anymore, but remained in line with the Jewish rules to the present day untouched.
The number of Jews in Dalen was never large. In 1942 there were 16 people, of which thirteen were deported and murdered.
They were;
Eva-Nijveen Bierman - Bierman David Jonas - Simon Bierman - Jonas Isaac Bierman - Bierman Frouwke-Bollegraaf - Jonas Bierman - Bierman Hendrina - Eva Bierman - Bierman Izak - Hartog Silverberg - Suzanne Silverberg-ten Brink - Betty Silverberg - Jacob Silverberg.
Hartog Zilverberg - Suzanne Zilverberg-ten Brink - Betje Zilverberg - Jacob Zilverberg.
