POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews
The polychrome wooden vault and bimah of the Gwoździec Synagogue, painstakingly reconstructed in 2014, is the centerpiece of the permanent exhibition at the Polin Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw, Poland. The original synagogue, built in c. 1640 in what is now the Ukrainian town of Hvizdets, was burnt down in 1941 by Nazi German forces.Photograph credit: Magdalena Starowieyska, Dariusz Golik
