Verified profile

The Judenplatz Museum was the center of Jewish life in Vienna. Today it preserves the memory of Judaism in the city and protects the remains of a medieval synagogue. Underneath the building, you will see the memorial structure of the Nameless Library by Rachel Whiteread, featuring tiles engraved with the names of places where Austrian Jews perished during the Nazi era. It is a moving tribute and worth spending some time there.
In the Middle Ages, many Viennese Jews lived in Judenplatz, but in 1421 a brutal antisemitic massacre led to the end of their vibrant community and one of the largest and most significant synagogues in medieval Europe was destroyed. Under the museum, the excavated remains of this synagogue can be visited.
