The architect was Julian Zachariewicz (1873-78). The synagogue was confiscated and closed by the Soviet government after it gained Northern Bukovina (of which Czernowitz is the largest city) from Romania in 1940. The building was burned by German and Romanian soldiers in 1941, after Nazi-allied Romania retook the city. In 1959 the outer walls were used to partially reconstruct the building for use as a movie theater called "Zhovten" ("October") and renamed in early 1990th to "Chernivtsi". The building lost its dome and retains very little of its former appearance. Josef Schmidt sang in the choir as a boy and served as cantor as an adult.2
