The Choral Temple - The Choral Temple is a synagogue located in Bucharest. It is a copy of Vienna’s Leopoldstadt-Tempelgasse Great Synagogue. The synagogue was devastated by the far-right Legionaries/Nazis, but was then restored after World War II, in 1945.
It still hosts daily religious services in the small hall, being one of the few active synagogues in the city and in Romania. - Museum of History of the Jewish Community - The amazing Holy Union Temple synagogue was constructed in 1836, this building has served as a museum of Jewish history since 1978. A number of separate exhibitions display how the once vibrant Jewish community of Bucharest used to live, while there is also an impressive Jewish liturgical collection, most of which was assembled by Moses Rosen, Romania’s chief rabbi from 1964-94 who founded the museum.
- Holocaust Memorial - Unveiled in October 2009, Romania’s Holocaust Memorial finally recognises the country’s role in the genocide of Europe’s Jews. As the Wiesel Report - commissioned by the Romanian government to investigate the Holocaust in Romania - concluded, no country outside Germany was responsible for the deaths of more Jews than Romania. The memorial itself comprises a column on which each side is written a single Hebrew letter. Taken together they read zachor (remember). There is also a hall of remembrance, and a number of plaques containing the names of many Romanian Holocaust victims.

This is an exclusive tour tailored just for your group. During this tour, you will explore the most important landmarks that are associated with the history of Bucharest’s Jewish community.
We will start the tour by picking you up from your hotel and heading to the Coral Temple, touted as the most beautiful temple in Bucharest. There we will meet a guide of Jewish descent who will share with us his remarkable life story and the history of Jews in Romania.
We will then head over to the Holocaust Museum, which is located within a spectacular Synagogue. Here, another guide of Jewish descent will educate us about the unfortunate circumstances of the Holocaust in Bucharest.
Following this, we will proceed to the Jewish Theater to witness a remarkable representation of Jewish culture.
The tour incorporates a visit to the Holocaust monument, a poignant reminder to remember history and avoid repeating past mistakes.
Regrettably, during World War II, Romania implemented Hitler’s agenda of Jewish extermination.
