Hradec Kralove

 

General

       Hradec Kralove is a town east of Prague.  The synagogue was consecrated in 1905, when the Jewish population was about 300 persons.  In 1930, there were over 400 Jews in the town.  By the end of 1942, all the Jews had been deported, and very few survived the war.  Following are two postcards depicting the synagogue in Hradec Kralove.  The first postcard was posted in 1938.
