What is synagogue warsaw?

The Warsaw Synagogue, also known as the Great Synagogue of Warsaw, was built in the mid-19th century in the neoclassical style. It was one of the largest synagogues in Europe and served as a major center of Jewish life in Poland until it was destroyed by the Germans during World War II.

In the 1930s, there were several clashes between the Jewish community and the Polish Nationalists, who viewed the Jews as an unwelcome presence in Poland. The Warsaw Synagogue was a frequent target of vandalism and attacks during this time.

After the German invasion of Poland in 1939, the synagogue was used as a warehouse by the Nazis. In 1943, it was completely destroyed during the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.

Today, a new synagogue has been built on the site of the original, with a modern design that incorporates elements of Jewish tradition. It serves as a symbol of the resilience of the Jewish people in the face of persecution and destruction. The synagogue also houses a Jewish history museum, which tells the story of Jewish life in Poland before and during the Holocaust.
