The photograph shows the Old Synagogue in Tarnów, probably from the interwar period or the beginning of the occupation. The arched windows and portals were a very distinctive element of the building. The façade of the building extends beyond the outline of the main body. On the right side of the photo, behind a metal fence, is standing a little boy. He is wearing dark shorts, a white shirt and a flat cap, suggesting that the photograph was taken between spring and early autumn. In the background are tenement houses. A fragment of a pasted strip of paper with the caption [St]ara bóżnic[a] (Old Synagogue) is preserved in the photograph. The synagogue dates back to the 17th century and was demolished in 1940.
