The Jewish community settled in Nov\u00e9 Z\u00e1mky in the 19th century. Between 1859 and 1863 the Jewish religious community built its first synagogue. In 1885 a second, Orthodox synagogue was also built. Before the Holocaust in 1938, 2,800 Jews lived in the town. A ghetto was established in 1944, and on 11 and 14 June 1944 the Jews were deported in two transports to Auschwitz. Only 287 of them survived the Holocaust \u2014 just one in ten. The Neolog synagogue was damaged during the bombing and later demolished. The Orthodox synagogue, preserved to this day, has a rectangular floor plan, one upper floor, and a choir loft. Next to it stands the former school, now used as a community centre. Several Holocaust memorials can be found in and around the synagogue.<\/p>\n
