SYNAGOGUE

At the junction of two streets, it passes incognito. In the midst of the neighborhood's residences, it could be mistaken for a wealthy bourgeois home. Yet Thionville's synagogue welcomes its faithful at every celebration. The Star of David gives the synagogue its religious identity, recognizing its use and worship. Its square structure gives it an imposing exterior. Resolutely modern, it contrasts with other religious architecture. This is the secret of synagogues: to blend into the mass and take on the appearance of their surroundings.
