Rykestrasse Synagogue; Berlin

from Center for Jewish History, NYC

  • Andreas said:
    You tagged the pic "destroyed synagogue". It was not destroyed by the nazis because it is situated in a residential area backyard. So they vandalized the interior and left the building undestroyed. It is still in use and beautifully restored. Added tag "rykestrasse".
  • Center for Jewish History, NYC said:
    Thank you for this correction! It's nice to know that this building is still standing. Is it now used as a synagogue again?
  • Andreas said:
    It is still in use as a synagogue. here is the link to the Jewish community of berlin with some information about the history and present activities. www.jg-berlin.org/en/judaism/synagogues/rykestrasse.html
  • Center for Jewish History, NYC said:
    Thank you for the information. I actually placed it on the Leo Baeck Institute Facebook page. www.facebook.com/leobaeckinstitute

    Is it facing the wrong way (noting shadow from the tree)?
  • Center for Jewish History, NYC said:
    Sorry, that is not the historical inaccuracy, merely the effect of the photographer's light on the model. For additional information please contact Yeshiva University Museum at info@yum.cjh.org.
  • Uzi-DoesIt said:
    So you won't tell us what it is?
  • Center for Jewish History, NYC said:
    We would like to give others the opportunity to guess the answer.
  • Center for Jewish History, NYC said:
    Anyone have any other ideas? Yeshiva University Museum will post the answer the week of 9/14.
