Wunstorf New Synagogue

"[community established in] 1913 a new house of worship on Kuesterstrasse, whose premises contained a mikveh, a school and a teacher’s apartment... On Pogrom Night, SA troops vandalized shops and homes, destroyed the synagogue’s interior, [and] burned its books... Renovated by Jewish soldiers from the British army after the war, the synagogue was sold in 1955... Today, the structure serves as an apartment building, to which a plaque was affixed in 1988. "
