BRIEF HISTORY:
During the interwar period, Plungė Jewish community had 6 prayer houses, one yeshiva, a Yiddish and Hebrew language primary school, a Jewish gymnasium, and a library. Now only the building of Jewish gymnasium and library remains. School subjects were taught in the Hebrew language. The library had a huge collection of books in the Yiddish and Hebrew languages.
CURRENT SITUATION:
During the Soviet era, the building became a residential one, however, the exterior only lost some minor details, so its original features can be visible to this day.
