Worms’ synagogue, Interior

“Stronger than parchments and books, this building bears witness to Jewish history in Germany...“ (Central Association of German Citizens of Jewish Faith, 1934) – This is true when thinking about the Worms’ Synagogue that was rebuilt several times, the last time after the Shoah. The first synagogue fell victim to the crusades. In 1174/75, a new synagogue was erected. The building ”quotes“ the Solomon Temple in Jerusalem with its two pillars and the lectern (bima) between them.
