The restoration of the synagogue in Ostrow Wielkopolski has won the "Facade of the Year" award for historic building preservation.
This is the second announcement this month of a synagogue restoration in Poland garnering an award, joining the synagogue in Zamosc, for whose restoration the Foundation for the Preservation of Jewish Heritage in Poland won the 2011 Conservation Laurel, an annual award granted by the regional authorities and monuments conservator in eastern Poland's Lubelskie Region, where Zamosc is located
I posted about the Ostrow restoration project last fall, providing links to the town web site with a lot of photographs illustrating the transformation.
