The Gothenburg Synagogue (Swedish: Göteborgs synagoga) at Stora Nygatan, near Drottningtorget, Gothenburg, Sweden, was opened in 1855[1] according to the designs of the German architect August Krüger. The congregation is Conservative.[2] The synagogue sanctuary has 300 seats.
Between 25 and 30% of the membership fees are used for security measures, as Jews risk attack from Middle Eastern, far-left and far-right extremists.[3]
The synagogue was firebombed on Saturday, 9 December 2017.[4][5] Three migrant men were arrested.[6][7] Prosecutor Stina Lundqvist said about 10 to 15 people may have attacked "in concert".[8] The attack was condemned as antisemitic by mayor Ann-Sofie Hermansson.[8] In the aftermath of the attack, the synagogue was visited by two cabinet ministers in a show of support from the highest political level.[8]
