Translation: Before 1944, the building served as a synagogue for the Jewish community where they offered prayers to the Lord in Heaven. The fascist terror ended their lives. The martyrs are remembered by these walls. / The memorial tablet was donated by J. Paul Herzog (Montreal) to the Holocaust Documentation Center and Memorial Collection in 2004.
