Il y a un endroit au centre d'Aschaffenburg qui mérite d'être visité même pendant les vacances.
The Museum of Jewish History and Culture uses historical documents to commemorate the eventful life of the Jewish community in Aschaffenburg, which was once one of the largest in Bavaria.
Political developments and their consequences are presented from a local perspective. Jewish citizens shaped the economic and cultural life of the city. The museum is located in the former rabbi's house in the immediate vicinity of the synagogue built in 1891-93 and destroyed during the 1938 pogrom night. A sycamore grove was planted here in 1984 in memory of the synagogue.
The history of the former Jewish community in Aschaffenburg is presented in a small but impressive permanent exhibition that covers the period from the first Jewish school in 1267 to the persecution under National Socialism.
Original cult objects, such as a Torah, the central scripture of the Jewish faith, provide an insight into the world of Jewish belief.
