During the Kristallnacht the interior of the building was destroyed by the Sturmabteilung who also tore up the Torah scrolls . On the same night , the New Synagogue , which served the city 's Liberal community was burned to the ground by the Nazi paramilitary groups . The White Stork synagogue , which at the time served Conservative Jews escaped that fate , because it was located close to other buildings and the participants in the pogrom were concerned that any fire would spread to non-Jewish structures
