Synagogue
Nowa Synagoga w Szczecinie, widokówka
Dworcowa St. 9a. In 1835, a wooden synagogue was built here. A larger one, made of brick, was completed
in 1875.
The development of the local Jewish community ended in 1933, as the Nazis rose to power in Germany. On 9 November 1938, during what went down in history as the Night of Broken Glass, SA paramilitary forces set fire to the synagogue and some other Jewish- owned buildings. Part of the 2,500-strong Jewish community emigrated. On 13 February 1940, more than 1,000 Jews were deported by Germans to ghettos created in occupied Poland in Lublin, Piaski, Bełżyce, and Głusk.
