Great Synagogue

For most foreigners, the name Pilsner may be unfamiliar. However, when it comes to Pilsner beer, many people would surely have heard the name.

Pilsner is a distinctive town compared to many other towns in the Czech Republic. Known for its architectural or medieval monuments, it was a metropolitan area located in the western region of Czech Republic. Famous for the automotive and the beer industry, it was where one of the three most famous Czech beers originated and the place of production for the famous Skoda in Eastern Europe.

Most of these industries were assets of the Rothschild family.

And the assets totalling more than one billion dollars included the world-famous Great Synagogue. Although almost destroyed in the hands of the Nazis in World War II, more than half a century later, this ancient church was repaired. While some marks of history disappeared, the appearance was no different than the past.
