Two synagogues and the Beth Hamidrash school building used to form the cultural and religious centre of the Jewish District in Lviv until they were destroyed by the Nazis from 1941 to 1943. Even today the heaviness and sadness of this important place and its history can be perceived.

The design concept provides three different approaches to remember and experience the site‘s heritage: The three parts are developed in relation to their individual spatial and atmospheric qualities and combined into a holistic composition: Authentic - vivid - abstract.
Authentic – The remains of the small but famous Golden Rose Synagogue will be preserved and made accessible to visitors.?Vivid – The former Beth Hamidrash will be a green space with information features, which again can serve the community as a place to communicate and learn.
Abstract – At the site of the City Synagogue the former footprint of the building will be left empty and only the former structures will be visible through a special treating to the paving. The emptiness and simplicity of the place contrasts to its surroundings and serves as a reminder to the loss which occurred.
