Bytom Synagogue

Bytom, Poland · built 1868

The Bytom Synagogue or Beuthen Synagogue was a former Reform Jewish congregation and synagogue, located in Beuthen, in the Prussian Province of Silesia. The town is now located in present-day Bytom, Poland, a border–town between Germany and the Second Polish Republic prior to German invasion of Poland in World War II. After the plebiscite of 1922, the border passed just east of Beuthen, so that neighboring Katowice was in Poland. Built in 1869, the synagogue was destroyed by Nazis on November 9, 1938, during Kristallnacht.
