	Berlin. The "New Synagogue" was completed in 1866 to serve the growing liberal Jewish community in Berlin. It was heavily damaged by a bombing raid in 1943. In 1958 the decision was made to raze the building due to its supposed danger of collapse. The facade of the building was later rebuilt and opened in 1995 as the "Neue Synagoge Berlin--Centrum Judaicum."

	Hamburg. The Joseph-Carlebach-Platz Synagogue Monument, designed by Margrit Kahl, marks the former location of the Bornplatz Synagogue, once the largest synagogue in Northern Germany until its willful destruction during Kristallnacht. The plaza is named for Dr. Joseph Carlebach, who was the last Chief Rabbi of Hamburg. In 1941 he and his family were deported to the Jungfernhof Concentration Camp and murdered.
