Antique & Vintage Postcards

The grand Romanesque Revival dome of Königsberg's New Synagogue rises above the Lindenstraße streetscape in this hand-colored postcard — a landmark destroyed by Nazis on Kristallnacht in November 1938 and not rebuilt until a replica opened on the same site in 2018, eighty years later. The city itself no longer exists under that name either; it's now Kaliningrad, Russia.
