Guided Story
Can you sense the quiet around you? Right here, this space was once filled by the main synagogue. Look to your left; you can almost feel the presence of what was a hub of Jewish life in Nuremberg. Behind you, the Heubrücke stands as a silent witness to history. Did you know the synagogue was destroyed months before the infamous Kristallnacht? A grim harbinger of the horrors to come. Look up and you'll see Reinhard Heiber's relief. It's as if the synagogue reaches into the sky, a symbol of what was lost but must never be forgotten.
