Unearthed: Remnants of Munich Synagogue Destroyed on Hitler's Orders

Construction workers in Munich, Germany, have discovered rubble from the city's former main synagogue, which was demolished on Adolf Hitler's orders in 1938. The remains include columns and a stone tablet with part of the Ten Commandments. The discovery has been described as a moving moment by the head of the Jewish Munich Museum, who never expected to find anything from the synagogue. The rubble was later used for construction work on a river weir, and there is hope that further pieces of the synagogue will be found.
