Picture of the day

A photochrom postcard (circa 1900) of the Pegnitz River, a short (115 km or 71.5 mi) river in Franconia, Germany, as it passes through Nuremberg. The domed synagogue that can be seen in the background was destroyed in 1938 as part of the persecution of Jews by the Third Reich.Postcard credit: Detroit Publishing Co.
