TheRadom Synagogue (Polish:Synagoga w Radomiu) was a formerOrthodoxJewish congregation andsynagogue, located on Podwalna Street, previously namedBożnicza Street, inRadom, in theMasovian Voivodeship ofPoland.
Completed in 1846, the synagogue served as a house of prayer untilWorld War II when it was destroyed byNazis following theinvasion of Poland in 1939. The synagogue was burned to the ground when theRadom Ghetto was set up. Almost all Radom Jews perished duringthe Holocaust in occupied Poland resulting in nearly complete abandonment of the site. After the end of war, the ruins of the synagogue were dismantled on the orders of the local pro-Soviet communist government.[2][3][4]
In 1950, during the following period ofStalinism in Poland, at the empty lot where the synagogue once stood, the local officials erected a memorial commemorating the lost Jewish community of Radom based on a design of Jakub Zajdensznir, and inscribed as devoted to victims of Nazism.[2]
