Unearthed: Remnants of Munich Synagogue Destroyed on Hitler's Orders
TL;DR
Construction workers in Munich, Germany, have discovered rubble from the city's former main synagogue, which was demolished on Adolf Hitler's orders in 1938. The remains include columns and a stone tablet with part of the Ten Commandments. The discovery has been described as a moving moment by the head of the Jewish Munich Museum, who never expected to find anything from the synagogue. The rubble was later used for construction work on a river weir, and there is hope that further pieces of the synagogue will be found.
