One of the partners of the Trenčín synagogue restoration project is the Jewish community in Oslo. We are very happy that we could welcome representatives of our partner to Trenčín at the end of March. The bilateral workshop was organized by another project partner - Jewish Cultural Institute.
The first stage of the renovation of the Trenčín synagogue is financed with the help of grants from the EEA and Norway and the state budget. Thanks to the project, a unique exhibition dedicated to Jewish history and culture in central Považí will be created in the interior.
The Feast of Lights or the Feast of the Rededication of the Jerusalem Temple. Hanukkah begins in Sunday evening. A new candle shines every evening on an eight-branch candlestick. The holiday itself refers to historical events connected with the victorious battle of the Maccabees over the Syrian-Greek king Antiochus-Epiphanes IV. These should have taken place in 167 BC.
The zeroth year of the From Synagogue to Church event was organized by the Central Union of Jewish Religious Communities in Slovakia and the Roman Catholic Church - Žilina Diocese. The event was held under the auspices of the chairman of the Trenčín self-governing region, Jaroslav Baška, who completed the cycle tour himself.
On Friday, September 9, 2022, the city of Trenčín joined the second year of the all-Slovak event called "Nezabudnuti susedia". At 10:00 a.m., sirens and bells rang out in the cities involved, which opened the commemoration ceremony on the occasion of the "Day of the Victims of the Holocaust and Racial Violence".
The Trenčín Synagogue is one of the most remarkable works in Slovakia from the beginning of the 20th century. However, synagogues can be found in many other cities and states. It is true that each of them is unique and original. For example, in China you can see synagogues with pagoda roofs, in Oriental countries they resemble mosques, in Europe Romanesque or Gothic churches. Synagogues are diverse and their architecture often reflects the specifics of a given part of the world. You would not find two identical Jewish temples in Slovakia either. But what unites them?
The Trenčín Synagogue is one of the buildings that will be part of an important publication. Hungarian Museum of Architecture in Budapest currently works on it. His representatives visited the Trenčín synagogue this week to document it photographically. "We are preparing a publication about synagogues in the former Kingdom of Hungary. It will include three synagogues in Slovakia, in Lučenec, Košice and Trenčín, "said art historian Ágnes Ivett Oszkó. They plan to release the work later this year.
In the Census of Population, Homes and Dwellings 2021, 2007 inhabitants subscribed to the Jewish religion in the Slovak Republic. "The community used to be significantly more numerous in our territory, but the Holocaust and long-term manifestations of hatred have significantly reduced it in our territory," recalls spokeswoman Jasmína Stauder.
An article about the Trenčín Synagogue has been added to the website of the Monuments Office of the Slovak Republic. It was written by KPÚ Trenčín employees, with whom we work closely within our project. We bring you the article in its entirety:
