THE NEW SYNAGOGUE IN GÖRLITZ - ALEX JACOBOWITZ ...

The New Görlitz Synagogue is a miracle of survival. The 600-seat Jewish house of prayer was
opened in 1911. Its magnificent blend of neoclassical architecture and Art Nouveau interior was
set on fire during Kristallnacht  but the structure wasn't destroyed. Its owners  the members
of the Görlitz Jewish community  were dispersed  arrested  annihilated - but despite all crises
the synagogue survived the next 80 years. With its later owners - the Nazis  the Soviets  the
Jewish Community of Dresden  then the City of Görlitz. With no Jewish community left in Görlitz
the synagogue often faced scandalous ideas about what should be done with the building.
