Bad-Salzuflen New Synagogue

Synagogue - Bad-Salzuflen (Salzuflen), North Rhine-Westphalia

"In 1856, a new synagogue was inaugurated on Mauerstrasse... On Pogrom Night, Bad Salzuflen’s synagogue was set on fire; the police confiscated the Torah scrolls, prayer books and ritual objects. Two days later, the synagogue’s ruins were removed, an expense for which the community was billed. The synagogue site was sold to the town in 1940/41...at the synagogue site, now a parking lot, a plaque was unveiled in 1982."
