Synagogue by the architect Dionýz Milch, demolished for a bridge construction. During a visit by Pope Francis in 1921, at a meeting of representatives of the Jewish community and the Catholic Church, he said: "The blessing of the Most High is poured out on us when he sees a family of brothers who respect, love and work together. Together, may you always be witnesses of peace. Shalom!

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..
