The Synagogue is the most visible evidence of Jewish history in Görlitz, Germany. It was the only one in Saxony that was not destroyed during the Pogrom Night in 1938 and is now a monument of national importance. The Art Nouveau building has been extensively restored and reopened 2021 as the Cultural Forum Görlitz Synagogue.

Those interested can also explore other locations, for example the Jewish Cemetery or the Old Synagogue, now a house of literature. The Jewish inhabitants of Görlitz were an important and influential part of the citizenry. Many of their houses and town villas are still preserved today.

The team of SIGHTGEIST, the digital magazine of the State of Saxony, visited the Jewish places in Görlitz. The video has been produced by Saxony Tourism - Tourismus Marketing Gesellschaft Sachsen GmbH (www.sachsen-tourismus.de/en). Watch the video to join the tour.
