Pardubice is a city in eastern Bohemia. Jews were first mentioned in the town in 1492. In 1880, when the synagogue was consecrated, the Jewish population was close to 400. In 1930, there were over 500 Jews in the town. The synagogue was closed down by the Nazis in October, 1942, and by the end of that year, all the Jews had been deported to Theresienstadt. The postcard below (mailed in 1915) depicts the synagogue in the city (left side of postcard).
