Synagogue in Lesko.

24th August 2014



Synagogue in Lesko was built in 1626-1656 but during WWII its interior was completely devastated by German soldiers.


Synagogue in Lesko befere WWII.

Equipment of Synagogue is now presented in the Museum of Folk Architecture in Sanok.



 During World War II there was a nearly complete genocidal destruction of the Polish Jewish community by Nazi Germany, during the 1939–1945 German occupation of Poland and the ensuing Holocaust.




THANKS FOR VISITING.


Greetings from cloudy and rainy Europe.

    Bad times. I recently learnt from the BBC details of the Warsaw uprising during WWI. Truly awful too.

    Yes, looks like a place filled with fascinating history. The atrocities committed against the Jews were shockingly horrible, and the bad part is when Jan Karski came to tell free Europe and America about it during the war, people wouldn't believe him. I do admire the Underground; they were amazingly large and very organized...so sad how their "Allies" in the USSR tried to destroy them by waiting till the Warsaw Uprising was crushed to "liberate" Poland from the Germans, and then imprisoning many of the Polish leaders.

    Lots of history - speaking of rainy, it's been raining here for three days - up to 4 and 7/10th's inches in our rain gauge now. We're pretty saturated. The farmers in the middle of harvest aren't too happy.

    Hello again Gosia,
    Just wanted to let you know I nominated you for the Liebster Award at my blog. I'm not sure if you do awards, so no problem if you are not up to it, but I do thoroughly enjoy your blog.

    It's wonderful that the synagogue has been renovated and risen again in remembrance of the atrocities against the Polish Jews. Thanks for sharing this piece of history.

    Sad time back then. But we move onward, and it's good to see a photo of it, plus a few things. The flowers are lovely.

    A poignant post. I take it the entire synagogue was destroyed, not 'merely' the interior?
