What the experts agree on
This 1836 synagogue turned museum powerfully documents Bucharest's once-thriving Jewish community and Romania's Holocaust history, housed in a beautifully restored 1910 building that serves as a sobering reminder of wartime devastation.
“The Jewish History Museum is housed in a colourful synagogue that dates from 1836 (rebuilt in 1910).”
