Who is Commemorated?
The synagogue of the Sisak Jewish community.
Description:
A simple metal plaque is attached to the right of the entrance to the former synagogue. Sometime between 1999 and 2021 it was replaced by a new plaque. While the Croatian inscription remained the same, the Hebrew one has changed.
