Summary and Remarks
History/Provenance
The synagogue in Vrbas was built in 1914 and demolished in 1948, however, not in its entirety. Three external facade pillars as well as internal pillars have been preserved. The internal pillars were incorporated into a building that currently houses a local public library. In addition, the tablets of the covenant that adorned the synagogue were brought to Israel and have been incorporated into a monument in memory of the Vrbas community in Karmiel.
One of the facade pillars was transformed into a memorial to fellow Jewish citizens of Vrbas and their synagogue. It stands at the site of the destroyed synagogue in Vrbas.
