History/Provenance
In the period of 1939-1941 the synagogue served as a fodder warehouse and a stable. In 1941 the Nazis allowed to open three synagogues in Warsaw, including the Nożyk synagogue. The official opening was held on Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. The service was conducted by a senior hazzan, Dawid Ajdensztadt. Majer Bałaban(1877-1942), a historian, Warsaw University and the Institute of Judaism Sciences professor, who headed the Archive Department of Judenrat in the Warsaw ghetto, preached the sermon.
