The 620 members of the Jewish community in the city of Rostock, in northeastern Germany, will soon receive the keys for their new community center. The building - which is close to the site where the old synagogue was burnt down during "Pogrom Night" on 9 November 1938 - will be inaugurated on 5 September. The new center, which includes a new synagogue, has cost a total of € 900,000, was in large parts funded by the city council. Rostock's Jewish Community was re-founded in 1994, five years after the fall of the Communist regime in east Germany.
