Stop

The synagogue was on 23 July 2010 as the target of a bomb attack. The explosion was caused by a type of fireworks, in which too little gunpowder was included, however, to seriously damage the building. On the day before the attack, a message was found on the door of the synagogue, was threatened in the stopper.
