Tallinn, Estonia – Estonia opens synagogue for first time since Nazi era

Tallinn, Estonia – Estonia’s last synagogue was wiped out in 1944, amid fierce gunfire and overhead air raids, as Nazi troops fled the Red Army’s advance. But yesterday, after a six-decade wait, the country’s 3,000-strong Jewish population finally donned prayer shawls and clutched siddurs, as the first synagogue since the Holocaust opened in Tallinn.
