I have been looking at Jewish architecture in the Baltic cities, from St Petersburg to Kaliningrad. I have included Kaningrad because of its historical importance, and geographic location, even though I have no idea why the area is now Russian, and not Lithuanian, Polish or, more remotely, Belarussian. Do you know?
One of the things about the Grand Choral synagogue in St Petersburg was not anti-semitic destructiveness but terrible neglect. I wrote it up in http://melbourneblogger.blogspot.com/2009/10/st-petersburgs-most-beautiful-synagogue.html
What chance has an old, restored Jewish cemetery got of surviving?
