Europe marked 80 years since World War II's end. The Netherlands witnessed the decimation of its Jewish population. Amsterdam's Sephardic Jews built a grand synagogue. Poorer Ashkenazi Jews also established synagogues. The Uilenburger synagogue is now restored. Sliedrecht's synagogue, built on a dike, faced ruin. Locals saved it. It now hosts events, preserving Jewish history. These restorations honor lost communities.
