    Dortmund is such an ugly place now. I’m from the Rhineland, and it saddens me how much heritage it has lost due to the nazis inhumanity.

    That was a fantastic building. Horrific that those assholes destroyed it.

    I recommend checking out those two pics on the German wiki page to get a better feel for the dimensions of it. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alte_Synagoge_(Dortmund)
