The Great Synagogue Museum and Holocaust Memorial
The Polish Synagogue, otherwise known as the Great Synagogue of Bucharest, was built in 1847 and is one of the few synagogues still existing in Romania. Its artistic look is the result of a major renovation that took place in the first four decades of the 20th century. In 1936, colourful and detailed paintings were added to the ceiling.
Today the Great Synagogue of Bucharest is being used as an exibition center and hosts the Holocaust Memorial just outside the front of the building. The permanent exhibition presents the most dramatic moments in story and raises awareness of discriminatory measures and pogroms from World War II from all over Romania. Written testimonies, newspaper clips and photos are displayed on the interior walls of the synagogue and show the history of Romanian Jewish life. Additionally, the stunning interior artwork and the lovely lady who happily explains to visitors about the Romanian Jewish history were also worth the visit!

Holocaust Memorial Bucharest
Photo: Jaime Silva/Flikr
The Holocaust memorial monument of Bucharest was made by artist Peter Jacobi and was unveiled in October 2009. It is dedicated to the collective memory of the hundreds of thousands of Romanian Jews fell victim to the systematic persecution of Jews by the Romanian authorities between 1940 and 1944.
The Holocaust monument is a five-sculpture ensembled around the central Memorial that consists of a large Star of David sculpture. Victims first names are inscribed and a memorial column containing a single Hebrew letter on each side together spelled the word “Zachor” (remember). Lines on the ground completed the piece symbolizing the railroad tracks that transported Jews to concentration camps.
