CZERNOWITZ, UKRAINE (1929)
The Temple of Czernowitz
In 1872 there was a split
in Czernowitz between the Reform and Orthodox communities. In 1873
construction of the synagogue commenced. Two years later both
communities reunited, and in 1878 the synagogue, designed a bit like a
mosque, was consecrated. The synagogue was used mostly by the wealthier
Reform group, though services were not so Reform. At the time, the
synagogue was the most prominent building in all of Czernowitz.
In 1940 the Russians, who had annexed Czernowitz, closed the synagogue
and confiscated its property. On Jul 5, 1941, German and Romanian
soldiers burned down the synagogue. In 1959 the ruins were converted
into a movie theater (see bottom photo on right.) |
