The Zion Neologic Synagogue sets empty beside the Crisul Repede River, in Oradea, Romania on March 13, 2013. Built in 1878, the one-thousand-seat Synagogue was the hub of the Neologic Jewish population of Oradea. During the Holocaust, much of the over thirty thousand Jews from Oradea and its surrounding areas were sent to either forced labor camps or death camps. The city recently began renovations to turn the synagogue into a museum and concert hall.
