At the end of the 1960s, a city summer cinema was built in its place, and after its cancellation, the space fell into disrepair again. However, a commemorative plaque was added to the wall.

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..
