Burgdorf-Salzufflen New Synagogue

Synagogue - Burgdorf-Salzufflen, Lower Saxony

"In 1811, a new synagogue was erected on Poststrasse. The earliest record of a Jewish school is dated 1841; the teacher lived in the synagogue and also served as chazzan and shochet... [On Pogrom Night] the synagogue’s interior was destroyed and the building was later (in 1939) appropriated by the municipality, after which the site served as headquarters for the local Hitler Youth and, between 1944 and 1959, as a public library... The former synagogue was converted into a store in 1961. In 1978, a memorial plaque was unveiled at the site and, in 2008, the building became a historical monument and cultural center."
