Here are three photographs from the Pinkas Synagogue in Prague, which is both a museum and Holocaust memorial as well as a working synagogue. Part of the memorial roster of 78,000 Czech Jews murdered by the Nazis. After the Soviet invasion that crushed the 1968 Prague Spring, the exhibit was closed. It was not reopened until the fall of Communism in 1995. <https://www.flickr.com/photos/24844563 at N04/36433007342/in/dateposted-public/> [X]Czech Holocaust victim's names<https://www.flickr.com/photos/24844563 at N04/36433007342/in/dateposted-public/> Part of the memorial roster of 78,000 Czech Jews murdered by the Nazis.
