<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2102509, member: 39&quot;]Jacob or Jacques Wiener was born in a village that is now part of Kamp-Lintfort (NW, DE). The village had a relatively large Jewish community (about one fourth) then. As far as I know, the synagogue medal he designed shows the &quot;Synagoge in der Glockengasse&quot;. The main synagogue in Cologne (Rathenauplatz) was severely damaged in the Pogrom Night* and WW2 but could be reopened in the late 1950s.</p><p><br /></p><p><i>* Side note: The cynical term (Reichs-)Kristallnacht was coined by the nazis. In German it is called Pogromnacht today, or November-Pogrome since it was not just one night.</i></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
