The year 2002 marks the 100th anniversary of the extraordinary synagogue in Subotica, Yugoslavia.

With its striking domes, sinuous lines and opulent ornamentation, the synagogue is one of the jewels of art nouveau architecture in Europe. But it has suffered more than half a century of damage and neglect since the Holocaust. The World Monuments Fund ranked it on its Watch List of the world's 100 most endangered monuments.

In the spirit of the new, democratic Yugoslavia, and with the support of Subotica's Jewish community, the City of Subotica has now embarked on an ambitious plan to restore the synagogue to its original glory.

The synagogue will live again as a tribute to Subotica's Jewish history and a monument to victims of the Shoah. It will also be an important symbol of local rebirth following the traumas of the past decade.
