So I'm a bit late with promises kept - was poking around in my archives

[Mira]

Last year when I was lucky enough to visit with lots of European relatives I was so overwhelmed on so many levels that it wasn't possible to address all the photographs.
And I had promised to show you more.
Here I am in a synagogue in Prague, the name of which I unfortunately did not write down.
I learned, in looking at the glorious façades and streets that Hitler loved Prague so much he wanted to make it the capital of his 1000 year Reich. Not Berlin. Not Vienna.
And that he did all he could to keep the war destruction to a minimum in the city of Prague.

Here is a bit from the (nameless) synagogue.

7. Isn't that the Spanish Synagogue?

9. YES- that is the name

I hoped someone would come in and give me th name. I now googled it and it is definitely correct. It is in the heart of the Jewish area of the city, and I saw three synagogues that day if my memory is correct.
Thank you sinkingfeeling.
