The Synagogue in Teplice-Sobedruhy

--Photographs of exterior & interior of the synagogue. This is the only known interior photograph--

from: Die Juden und Judengemeinden Böhmens in Vergangenheit und Gegenwart

These three photographs were taken in 1997 when I visited Sobedruhy with my parents. My father, Hans, is pictured in front of the lot where the synagogue once stood. My grandfather's ancestral home was located adjacent on the right side of the synagogue. Both were pulled down sometime prior to 1958. The building on the left side of the empty lot is the former Jewish Community House where the community offices were located. It may have also held classrooms and a rabbi's residence. The last photograph shows a portion of the former "Judengasse" now called Stare Ulice or "Old Street".
