Synogague or Cinema?

Monday, September 30
Konin, Poland

We woke up this morning to the beautiful Polish sunrise with the bittersweet realization that we would be awake for every one this week. We were told that we would be davening in a shul this morning. However, we were all very perplexed when we entered a movie theater this morning. I stood immobilized when I put the pieces together. This was a shul. After the Holocaust, Polish Jewry all but eradicated and this was the remainder. Rav Brown also gave us a speech on the Polish occupation up until 1942, and explained the dire conditions.
