Görlitz, Germany
The Synagoge Görlitz is a late-historicist synagogue built in 1911, one of the few in Germany to survive the November 1938 pogroms largely intact. After decades of neglect following World War II, the building has been gradually restored and now serves as a cultural forum hosting concerts, exhibitions, and public events. Its ornate interior with original decorative elements makes it a striking backdrop for cultural programming.
Every Thursday at 3 p.m., the Görlitz Synagogue offers a guided tour covering the building's history - from the Kristallnacht pogrom to the revival of Jewish life in the city.
Markus Thalheimer performs a continuous solo harp recital spanning Renaissance to Impressionism, shaped around the interplay of contrast and connection.
