Due to the Nazi regime Meinungen and his family , including his infant daughter Hanna Meinungen ( ca. 18 months ) , were deported to Auschwitz concentration camp , where Samuel Meinungen died on the 25.11.1937 . Although untraceable , it is speculated that his entire family died around this time . During the Kristallnacht ( 1938 ) most of the interior was destroyed , however due to its position within the town and the close proximity to adjacent properties , the building and the Mikwe remained largely intact . Extensive restoration of the Synagogue started in 2004 and lasted until 2009 . Nowadays the building is used as a community hall , a museum and a venue for special events such as exhibitions from local schools
