The Oranienbergerstrasse Synagogue in Berlin. The largest synagogue in the world when completed in 1866.


The Oranienbergerstrasse Synagogue was saved from major damage during Kristallnacht in 1938
by a brave German fire chief who would not allow Stormtroopers to enter the building.
The synagogue was later destroyed by British bombing in 1943.
Recently renovated, its main sanctuary now houses a museum of Jewish history.
