There were several hundred synagogues in Poland; very few of them survived the War. Nearly all wooden synagogues were destroyed (one 20th c. wooden synagogue still stands in Parczew, Biała Podlaska province); and the remaining stone and brick buildings, by no means representative of the architectural treasures that once stood, are sometimes the only evidence left of the Jewish presence in Poland. Of the two hundred and forty-five existing synagogues, the below mentioned are considered to be of the greatest historical valve.
