Special to the Jewish New
s a little girl, Ruth Adler
Schnee lived in Frankfurt
and attended the German
city's major synagogue with her
family. On Sunday, Aug. 29, she and
her grandson will attend the grand
opening of the North American pre-
miere of "Synagogues in Germany: A
Virtual Reconstruction" exhibit at the
Holocaust Memorial Center Zekelman
Family Campus in Farmington Hills.
Elaborate computer-aided-design
(CAD) reconstructions of eight syna-
gogues destroyed during Kristallnacht,
or "Night of Broken Glass': in
November 1938 will be on display. The
Frankfurt synagogue is one.
After the unveiling at 7 p.m. on Aug.
20, the exhibit is open to the public
through Nov. 29.
The 84-year old Southfield resi-
dent, a former artist and architect
and now fabric designer, was too
young to remember the Frankfurt
synagogue, but vividly recalls the one
in Dusseldorf. Her family moved to
Diisseldorf when she was a teenager.
Adler Schnee has compelling memo-
ries of its rabbi who gave her private
lessons until that fateful evening.
While the synagogue burned, he ran
inside to try and rescue the Torah,
but sadly perished in the fire. The
Dusseldorf synagogue is not in this
particular exhibit.
