Synagogue in Tarnowskie Góry
Jews have lived in the Silesia region of Poland for hundreds of years. In the mid 1700’s, a Jewish entrepreneur, Salomon Isaac, became one of the founders of the Upper Silesian mining and metallurgical industries. A synagogue in Tarnowskie Góry was established in 1864; it was burned to the ground when the Nazis invaded Poland in 1939 and its ruins completely dismantled in 1943.
In 2006, the Culture and Art Foundation in Tarnowskie Góry unveiled a monument in the square at Szymala Street. Here are some pictures of then and now.
