KIELCE, Poland (2006)
From Wikipedia: "It was
built between 1901 and 1903, and designed by Stanisław Szpakowski. The
temple was desecrated by the Nazis during World War II, and turned into
a prison and storage facility for stolen Jewish property. Under the
Communists the building was abandoned from 1945 to 1951. The adjoining
mikvah and Rabbi's home were destroyed in the 1970s. The structure has
been renovated and some architectural elements altered. Today it serves
as a State Archives." |

High Synagogue (Pol.: Synagoga Wysoka)
High Synagogue is an
inactive Orthodox synagogue in the Kazimierz District (the Jewish
Quarter) of Krakow. It was built between 1556 and 1563. During the
occupation of Poland in World War II, Nazis stripped the interior of all
equipment. The ceiling and roof were destroyed. At present only the
stone niche for the Aron Kodesh and the wall-paintings uncovered
early in the twenty-first century by art conservation remain.
Gabled-windowed top floor, synagogue ceiling and roof were renovated in
2008 as part of the ongoing repairs.

Synagoga Kupa
From Wikipedia:
"The Kupa
Synagogue is a 17th century synagogue in Krakow, Poland. It is
located in the former Jewish quarter of Kazmierz,
developed from a neighborhood earmarked in 1495 by King Jan I
Olbracht for the Jewish community, which has been transferred
from the budding Old Town. Kupa Synagogue serves Kraków’s Jewish
community as one of the venues for religious ceremonies and
cultural festivals, notably the annual Jewish Cultural Festival
in Krakow.
The
Synagogue was founded in 1643 by the Kazimierz Jewish district’s
kehilla (a municipal form of self-government), as a foundation
of the local qahal."

KRASNOSIELC, POLAND
This synagogue,
according to documents, was built in the late 1800's to serve the towns
of Krasnosielc and possibly Rozan. The street on one side was renamed
Jewish Street after its construction. To save money, the second story
interior, reserved for the women of the congregation, was reached by an
exterior stairway.
Plaques (seen in photo above on left wall) were placed
on the wall of the synagogue by the Association of Former Krasnosielc
Residents in Israel and USA in 1996. The plaque on the wall relates to
this site of the murdered Jews on the night of Sept 5,1939.
The
inscription reads: "This building was the synagogue of
2000 members of the Jewish community of Krasnosielc
until World War II.
Here on the night of 6 IX 1939 more than 50
prominent members of the community were brutally
murdered by the Nazi-Germans and their bodies buried in
the adjoining yard.
The remainder of the community was then driven out
through acts of terror to a bitter fate." |
