November 1938, the Nazi regime initiated a pograom directed against the Jewish population, which was cynically and belittlingly called "Reichskristallnacht" . Almost all synagogues and prayer houses were destroyed. This church was used as a magazine and was bombed in the spring of 1945. Over 65,500 Austrian Jews fell victim to the Shoah. This is the location where formerly stood Andreas Streit`s synagogue built 1875–1877. The Nazi-organized pogrom direct- ed against the Jewish population during the night of November 9th / 10th 1938, cynically trivialized as "The Night of Broken Glass", resulted in the destruction of nearly all of the city's synagogues and prayer-halls. This place of worship was subese- quently uses as a warehouse and bombed in 1945. Over 65,500 Austrian Jews would fall victim to the Shoah.
