📍🕍 Orthodox synagogue in Trnava.

Yiddish: טאַרנע, Tarne; Hungarian; Nagyszombat; German: Tyrnau.

Until 1918 Trnava was part of Austria-Hungary. Between 1918 and 1993 it was part of Czechoslovakia. Since 1993 it has been part of Slovakia.

As you can see this synagouge use As a coffe shop. Yes, its weird, but before become coffe shop (2009) it was ruiny. The synagouge was bulit in 1891. Judaism says that a synagogue is a synagogue if it has a Torah.  since the owner tried to keep its character and not erase the past as we have seen so many times, I think, even if I drank my coffee with strange feelings, this is a great preservation of our past.

Jews arrived into the area in the 11th century. A presence in Trnava is documented from the 14th century.  In 1494, 14 Jews were brought to death by burning following a blood libel. An 1503 account of the 1494 ritual murder trial introduces for the first time in history the notion that Jews as a collectivity were of feminine gender and had monthly bleedings, a libel which would become part of the repertoire of Christian antisemitism from then on. After another blood libel, the Jews were expelled from the city in 1539 and only in 1783 were Jews allowed to return to the city.[citation needed] Until World War II, Trnava was home to a sizable Jewish minority.  During the Holocaust, 82% of the Jews were sent to extermination camps in 1942.
