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.

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 in time to visit the Jewish Museum in Prague. Among the several halls, Pincus Jewish synagogue was most impressed. The names of the Jewish victims and the time of their birth and death in World War II were closely written on the walls. There are Jewish children's paintings, the vast majority of them were killed. When I came out and passed the cemetery, it was raining heavily and my mood was wet. Tomorrow's trip will be over. I'm sorry.
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 showcases Jewish art in Central Europe, Jewish history and Jewish celebrities in various fields. What is worth seeing is the stele forest, which is said to have buried 100,000 people. I don't know the truth, but it's shocking.
Why do Jews suffer so much? The reasons are complicated, but I can understand and accept that Christianity believes that Judas, one of the 12 disciples of Jesus, betrayed Jesus and that the Jews crucified Jesus, which is the source of Christian hatred for Jews. Later, Hitler, a madman, plunged the whole Jewish nation into disaster.
