This photograph shows two Atlanta, Georgia police officials investigating the synagogue of the Hebrew Benevolent Congregation in Atlanta, which was dynamited on October 12, 1958. The men stand inside the building, and they are seen through the hole that has been blown in the side of the structure. Rubble is piled next to the hole. The involvement of the Temple's rabbi, Jacob Rothschild, in the civil rights movement may have been the motivation behind the bombing. - Metadata URL:
