Konstanz Synagogue
"Local Jews established... a synagogue, [on] Sigismundstrasse, in 1883...Although the synagogue was set on fire in 1936, it was renovated in 1937...The synagogue was blown up with dynamite on Pogrom Night... Several survivors returned to Konstanz in 1945. A new building had been built on the former synagogue site, and it was there that these Jews established a prayer room... A plaque and a memorial stone have been unveiled at the synagogue site and at the cemetery, respectively."
