Synagogues in Hungary II. Szolnok
"New Synagogue in Szolnok On the HUF 175 stamp of the set the altar of the New Synagogue in Szolnok is depicted, while the buildings of the old synagogue, today a museum, and the new synagogue are shown on the first day cover. The postmark is a stylized drawing of the stone tablets of the Ten Commandments. The Israelite congregation of Szolnok was established in 1850. The synagogue built in 1898-99 stands on Koltói Anna Square. It was constructed based on the designs of Lipót Baumhorn. It was used as a place of worship until 1940, and it was restored by the municipality in 1960, since when it has functioned as a gallery. The construction of the New Synagogue began in 1931 and had room for 250 to 300 people. In 1935 Dr József Hasznos, the leader of the congregation at the time, and Dr Kornél Heves, the chief rabbi, consecrated the building, and named it the Temple of Martyrs.
