Germany’s newest and largest synagogue was dedicated here tonight at a special ceremony attended by high officers of the American High Commission.
When it was originally constructed in 1908, the synagogue was one of 20 which served the large Jewish community here. All were destroyed in the Nazi pogrom in 1938. It has taken five years to rebuild the synagogue, which seats 1,000.
