By chance the Cronins chose to visit a sleepy town
more ...
– Liptovsky Mikalas – in a valley between the Tatra mountains. They find an impressive synagogue, built in 1906, which is here described in detail, and really fits the description of "amazing". At the synagogue there is a small display of photographs of Jewish families who once lived in the town, and an appeal is made for more photos of Jews who once lived in the town. The photos should be sent to nemcova@mik.Im.sk.
