Not least of which is the Old New
Synagogue, Europe's oldest surviving
synagogue
|
 |
Built in the 13th century, small but identifiably Gothic in
architecture; only very slightly enlarged and remodeled
from that time
|
 |
More interior
|
 |
Sanctum sanctorum, so to speak
|
 |
Still more interior
|
 |
Slits cut in the thick wall so the women-folk could peer in
|
 |
Medieval donation box
|
 |
Flag in the shape of the hats Jews were forced to wear
|
 |
Another, younger synagogue
|
 |
With clocks
|
 |
We're still pondering this one, although it is clear the
woman on the right is listening to an iPod
|
 |
A glimpse into the old Jewish cemetery,
where some 100,000 are buried, under
12,000 headstones; they were allotted very
little space
