Online Archive of Jewish Communities

The last deportation transport from Saxony to Theresienstadt was prevented by the chaos following Allied bombing raids on Dresden on February 14. Around 70 Jews fled and went into hiding. Many of them took part in the re-establishment of the Jewish community at Bautzner Straüe 20 in the fall of 1945. Services were soon held again in the building, which is still used by the Jewish community today. Leon Löwenkopf (1892-1966) served as the first chairman.
