Nazi paramilitary forces burned , then dynamited , the Hannover synagogue on November 9 , 1938 , Kristallnacht , reducing it to rubble . That night , Nazi authorities also arrested the junior rabbi of Hannover , Emil Schorsch , and sent him to Buchenwald concentration camp . German authorities later presented Freund 's office with a bill for 26,000 reichsmarks ( the current equivalent of $ 150,000 US ) for the synagogue 's demolition and clean-up costs
