Barsinghausen Synagogue

Synagogue - Barsinghausen, Lower Saxony

"In 1902, after the synagogue (located in a private residence) burned down, services were moved to a rented house at 37 Marktstrasse... On Pogrom Night, rioters destroyed the synagogue’s interior and ritual objects... The synagogue building was demolished in the 1980s."
