Guided Story
In front of you stands the stele commemorating the destroyed synagogue of Krefeld's Jewish community. Built in 1903, this synagogue was a central part of Jewish life in the city. During Kristallnacht on November 9, 1938, it was destroyed by the inhumane actions of the Nazi regime. This stele serves as a memorial, urging us to remember the past and the atrocities committed here. If you look to the west, you can see the Alte Kirche, another historic building in the city.
