The Golden Rose Synagogue was an Orthodox Jewish synagogue located in Lviv.
(Gildene Royze, also known as the Turei Zahav Synagogue, was built in 1582 in L'viv, Ukraine.)
The synagogue was located in the old town of Lviv, which was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site on December 5 1998.
With the help of city maps, architectural drawings, photographs and works of art the book tells the story of the synagogue and its history.
Computer-aided reconstructions help the reader to envision the synagogue in those bygone days, of which only archaeological and literary evidence has survived.
The book provokes a discussion on the destiny of this venerable landmark, destroyed during World War II and neglected after the war.
