The Andernach Synagogue memorial got destroyed?

Some of our German members informed us of a terrible act which took place in the small town of Andernach.

The memorial of the local synagogue has been demolished and the space surrounding it repurposed into a "private" fenced lot.

The memorial in question was erected after the end of the Second World War in order to commemorate the local Holocaust victims and their demolished synagogue.

As far as we have been informed, they have submitted a signal regarding this to the local authorities.
