          EXHIBITION

 
Below you will find a series of postcards that depict various synagogues that currently or once stood in Europe. Most of these photographs have been purchased, taken, or otherwise obtained by those visiting these towns and cities, and they have been subsequently submitted to the Museum to be placed online.  Some of these synagogues might still be extant, i.e. still being used as synagogues, but others lay abandoned and perhaps in a state of disrepair, or are currently being used for other purposes. Some have been restored.

Current town names are used to indicate the location of each synagogue.

The Museum welcomes further submissions, as this exhibition is forever ongoing and evolving. Please include the name of the country, town/city, synagogue (if known), and the month and year the photo was taken.

Please click on the thumbnail photos to see the enlarged versions.

"The building has been preserved and serves as a museum nowadays. It has never been ruined or affected in any other way since its erection hundreds of years ago. My family, Frankl, who was a prominent family in the village and in Mliecno, a neighboring village that became a part of Samorin used to pray in that synagogue. Adjacent there is an old Mikve which is a part of somebody's home nowadays." -- Liora Cohen
