Overview
The Pinkas Synagogue serves as a deeply moving Shoah memorial situated in the heart of Prague. Originally built in 1535, it transitioned from a private house of worship to a profound place of commemoration for the nearly 80,000 Czech and Moravian Jews who perished during the Holocaust, whose names are now permanently inscribed upon its interior walls. On the upper floor, visitors will find a significant collection of over 4,000 drawings created by children in the Theresienstadt ghetto, an exhibition recognized by UNESCO for its historical importance. This site is maintained as a quiet, reflective space, standing as a critical component of the Jewish Museum in Prague's historical circuit.
