The Neolog Synagogue in Cluj-Napoca (Template:Langx); also known as the Temple of the Deportees (Script error: No such module "Lang".; Template:Langx), dedicated to the memory of those deported who were victims of the Holocaust; or more simply, the Neolog Synagogue (Template:Langx), is a Neolog Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at 21 Horea Street, in the city of Cluj-Napoca, in Cluj County, in Transylvania, Romania.
Designed by Izidor Hegner in the Moorish Revival style, the synagogue was completed in 1887.[1]
History
Located on Horea Street, it was built based on the plans of Izidor Hegner, an engineer, between 1886 and 1887. Seriously affected after attacks by the Iron Guard on September 13, 1927, it was soon rebuilt by the Romanian government.[2]
In the period following the Second Vienna Award, when Northern Transylvania was returned to Hungary, it witnessed the Jews' deportation to Nazi extermination camps, Auschwitz-Birkenau, and was damaged by the bombardments of the neighbouring railway station, on June 2, 1944. In 1951 it was again restored, and the synagogue rededicated in memory of the lives of the Jews who were deported during the Holocaust.
In 2018, further restoration of the synagogue commenced including the development of a Jewish social cultural center.[3]
