Visiting Augsburg - Part 2

In Augsburg there are two synagogues, one downtown in the center of the city and one in the Jewish and Industrial area across the river. My family attended the latter. It was very interesting to see the history of the Jewish community in Ausgburg as there had been a continuous Jewish community in the area that had not began to pick up again until after the war. This was quite interesting and I learned a lot after going here. I visited both synagogues, but photography was not allowed in the larger synagogue, since it is still an active congregation.
