Demolished synagogues SK (lost cultural heritage)

We have been working on the Demolished Synagogues SK project since 2022. We are looking in the archives for original photos of synagogues that no longer exist. Then we look for the places where these synagogues were built. We are contacting municipal and city authorities and asking them for help in identifying these places. A total of 81 synagogues were demolished, we have managed to find 29 so far..
