Pinkas Synagogue

Founded in 1479 by Rabbi Pinkas. I find this place very sad and  most touching.












This synagogue now serves as a memorial to the Czezh Jews who were imprisoned in Terezin concentration camp and later deported to various Nazi extermination camps. The names of the 77,297 who did not return are inscribed on the synagogue walls.
