Holocaust - New Synagogue in Tarnów burned and blown up
The plaque was probably a souvenir from a visit to the New Synagogue. To the commemoration of the Jewish community in Tarnow. I am not 100% sure but it seems to me more likely that it comes from the 1930s than it is post-war. The more that she was found in the attic of an old Jewish home. It is made of brass and framed in a very nice frame. A beautiful souvenir of times gone by.
New Synagogue (Polish: Nowa Synagoga, Nowa Synagoga w Tarnowie) was the largest synagogue in Tarnow, Poland. It was built from 1865 to 1908, with the long period of construction due to lack of funds. The synagogue was set on fire by the Germans in November 1939. The fire lasted three days but the building did not collapse; it was blown up instead.
