Excavations on the site of the former Bornplatz synagogue

PRODUCTION - 18 September 2023, Hamburg: Fragments of painted glass panes have been found during an investigation by the Archaeological Museum Hamburg on Joseph-Carlebach-Platz. The museum has been researching the remains of the Bornplatz Synagogue there since the beginning of the month. Nazis set fire to the building in the Grindelviertel district during the November pogroms of 1938. A year later, they forced the Jewish community to demolish the synagogue at its own expense.
