Here you can appreciate the very detailed Jewish culture in Bohemia, which is quite ornamental. Historical Background The Jewish Museum is located in the Jewish Quarter. It was built in 1906. At that time, Prague imitated Paris for urban transformation. Most of the buildings in the Jewish Quarter were demolished, and only the old Jewish cemetery, funeral hall, Messer synagogue, and Pincus synagogue remained. , 6 Spanish Synagogues and Clausen Synagogues.

A small church, also a very commemorative church, in a not very large area, the museum area is not very large, the Jews in the Czech Republic is also a small presence, and they suffered persecution during World War II.
The Jewish Museum is going to buy tickets to enter. I didn't expect it to be very popular here. The door is still lined up. The Jewish area is not very far from the luxury street. It feels far from the hustle and bustle and quiet.
It rained almost all day today, just to visit the Jewish Museum in Prague. Among the several clubhouses, the most impressive was the Pincus synagogue, where the names and time of the Jewish victims of World War II were written on the walls. There are also paintings by Jewish children, most of them have been killed. When I came out and passed the cemetery, the rain was heavy and the mood was damp. The trip will end tomorrow, very reluctant.
You can purchase a ticket to the museum, cemetery and different synagogues within the Jewish Quarter. All are within walking distance of each other. Highly recommend on a visit to Prague.
The Jewish Museum in Prague, showing Jewish artworks in Central Europe, Jewish development history, and celebrities in Judaism in various fields. It is worth seeing that the monument is said to have buried 100,000 people. I don't know if it is true or not, but it is shocking.
Why are Jews so hard? The reasons are complicated, but I can understand and accept that Judas, one of Jesus' 12 disciples, sold Jesus and crucified Jesus, which is the source of Christian hatred against Jews. Then Hitler, the maniac, brought the entire Jewish nation into disaster.
