Praying beside the names of the victims on the walls of the Pinkas Synagogue. The present building is the work of the Horowitz family. In 1535, it built Aaron Meshullam Horowitz from his house "U Erbu" and the Old Jewish Cemetery. After World War II, the synagogue became a monument to the Jews of Bohemia and Moravia murdered by the Nazis. On its walls are inscribed the names of the Jewish victims, their personal data, and the names of the communities to which they belonged.
