          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.
 
 
SLOVENIA    
MARIBOR, SLOVENIA (2008-09)

From Wikipedia (photo left edited to remove defacement/graffiti).
One of two synagogues left in Slovenia.

"Located in what was the center of the medieval Maribor ghetto at 4 Židovska ulica ("Jewish Street"), it is one of the oldest preserved synagogues in Europe, and one of two only left in Slovenia. It once functioned as the centre of the medieval Jewish community in Maribor, among the most prominent in the Eastern Alps area."
