Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox religious building The Biecz Synagogue is a former synagogue in Biecz, Poland. It is located on the main square of the town. Built in 1903, it is now used as a public library.
History
The synagogue was built in 1903,[1] with two separate entrances: one for men, which leads to the ground floor, and another one for women, which leads to the first floor.[2] By the early 1930s, the town of Biecz was home to 500 Jews, making up 15% of the entire population.[2]
During World War II, the Nazis established a Jewish ghetto around the synagogue.[2] Eventually, they killed 150 Jews and deported the remaining Jews to the Bełżec extermination camp.[2]
In the 1990s, the US-based Society of Jews from Biecz in New York added a commemorative plaque to the building.[2]
