Postcard of the Great Synagogue on Tłomackie – LOVED

This 1890s postcard features the Great Synagogue on Tłomackie Street, the pride of Warsaw’s progressive Jewish community when it opened in 1878. The Germans destroyed the Great Synagogue as a final act of triumph after suppressing the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising on 16 May 1943 and reducing the Warsaw Ghetto to rubble.

The object was embraced by Magdalena Łysakowska.
