Goslar New Synagogue

Synagogue - Goslar, Lower Saxony

"The community inaugurated a new synagogue—with seven benches for men, two for women—on Baeckerstrasse; the building also housed an apartment for a teacher and a school, the latter of which closed in 1874... On Pogrom Night...the synagogue’s interior was demolished. In 1939, the synagogue and cemetery were sold to the town, the proceeds confiscated... The synagogue building was pulled down in 1959."
