The Lost Synagogues with Andrea Strongwater

The Lost Synagogues is a collection of more than 100 vibrant paintings depicting synagogues that were eradicated before and during WWII. Andrea Strongwater has researched Jewish communities across Europe to connect archival photos with written records that together tell the story of European Jewish life before the holocaust. Strongwater brings this world back to life through her art.

Strongwater has a series of popular lectures and artwork available to exhibit. The project is in the process of being published as a series of books. The first Where We Once Gathered – Lost Synagogues of Europe has won two prestigious awards and is appropriate for all ages. The second volume Where We Once Gathered – Lost Synagogues of Germany in German and English has been published in the EU for distribution there; it is currently in German bookstores, available online and directly from the artist and publisher in the US.
