TL;DR Summary

Parts of a Munich synagogue that was demolished by the Nazis in 1938 have been discovered in a river during construction work. The rubble, including stone columns and a tablet bearing the Ten Commandments in Hebrew, was found several miles away from the original site. The director of the Jewish Museum Munich, Bernhard Purin, described the discovery as "unusual" and "touching." The stones will be transported for further examination, and experts will determine how they can be preserved and potentially used to honor Jewish life in Munich before the Holocaust.
