Memories of synagogues in Deutschland

On the subject of blog synchronicity, I spoke to Dr. Hans Guggenheim few days ago. He tells me he wants to do a synagogue project with me. I told Hans a very personal reason why I would not be able to do it. But here I think this is what you had in mind Hans: A project by German students to archive information about German and Austrian synagogues (via Bloghead).
The students write: We are looking for people with memories of synagogues in Germany and who are ready to share them with others.
On the site you find these wonderful three dimensional models reconstructing the lost treasures.


This is a photo of destroyed pure Bauhaus synagogue in Plauen (built in, yes Zuravitzer, 1930!)

Also almost exactly a year ago I posted a link to a photo collection of synagogues in Russia: mentalblog.com: Synagogue jam session.
