Legnica Synagogal Congregation
Stamp: "Bibliothek der Synagogen-Gemeinde zu Liegnitz"
In 2017, a book from the library of the Legnica Synagogal Congregation was handed over to the Foundation for the Preservation of Jewish Heritage in Poland [Fundacja Ochrony Dziedzictwa Żydowskiego, FODŻ].
The synagogue in Legnica was officially inaugurated in 1847. It was burnt down during the pogroms of November 1938.
The book’s route into the stock of the Berlin City Library (Berliner Stadtbibliothek) is unknown. It was added to the collection shortly after the end of the war in 1946. The supplier listed in the accession register as “Kulturamt” (Cultural Office) is presumably linked to the Berlin City Council; however, this supplier designation was also used, amongst other things, for looted property that was already in the library’s possession.
