The Great Synagoge in Berehove in Ukraine, Zakarpattia Oblast was built in the late 19th century.[1] It was not destroyed during World War II and used as a synagogue until 1959, when it was confiscated by the Soviet authorities. The interior was converted into a theatre and cultural centre.[2] A concrete shell was built around the building; though the original building was kept intact, it could no longer be seen.[3] Today the front of it is covered with a huge drapery, showing a picture of the original front.
