there are goblets, brooches, and rings. the treasure was discovered by chance during construction work in 1998. it most likely belong to a jewish banker. the most valuable piece of this medieval jewish wedding ring there only 3 in the world. the air for treasure is a highlight of the old synagogue. it's been a museum since 2009, and it tells the history of efforts, jewish community in the middle ages, a sign of it. it was a very prosperous community that had profited from the trade and development of this wealthy mercantile city, invisible at the same time, but it was a center of learning and a gift for some prominent rabbis. we're here. oh, i'm sent. it likely had a tradition of scribe 60 go up. you have on here. they copied taurus scrolls and bibles here and made lithographs, all one,

i am conflict of interest. i. one reason is that the jewish people were the only minority and an otherwise homogeneous christian majority society. but christianity hadn't split into different churches yet. so the jews were the only ones who were different. and with the outbreak of the plague, the rumors started that the jews had poisoned the wells $31.00 forget they became the perfect scapegoat. and that's what triggered the wave of pogroms either from vienna. ah, the old synagogue has served many purposes over the centuries. warehouse dance hall . it even housed a bowling alley. now it houses precious manuscripts and jewellery and recounts a special chapter of air for its history. ah! on this afternoon, our foot old town is full of people. here for the 5th de la museum, it every turn,
