This info should be added to the article. --Tickle me 01:34, 13 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Security

Maybe it should be mentioned that the synagogue is secured by heavily armed police round the clock. ~~wib

I'm not sure why. Is it a vital and encyclopaedic fact? Lots of places are guarded by armed police, especially if you are in a country where the police are armed. I found it slightly disturbing (most of our police do not carry guns) but it didn't make me think, wow, this must be added to the wp article. And I'm not sure about "heavily armed" - they had something more than handguns, true, but I didn't see them packing massive weaponry either.

Survival

This article raises questions about how the actual building (and parts of its congregation too) survived the Nazis. Perhaps someone with expertise on this could elaborate on how the congregation was able to retain power over the structure until 1942, and how the building too escaped systematic annihilation.

Gallery?

Any chance of our friends in Germany to take more photos for a gallery? I would love to see the inside of Synagogue as it stands today... Dinkytown talk 05:27, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
