The synagogue has often been the site of antisemitic violence and the object of anti-Jewish rhetoric. In early Christian literature, the synagogue was regarded as the foe of the new faith.[1] Violent attacks on synagogues featured prominently in the Nazi German effort to persecute the Jews of Europe.[2] And the destruction of synagogues is also a feature of the activities of various terrorist and Islamist groups.[3][4]
