The Holocaust Museum of Porto (MHP) was created in 2021 by the Jewish Community of Porto in partnership with B’nai B’rith International and Holocaust museums around the world.
The MHP is the materialization of the challenge launched to civil society by the government project “Nunca Esquecer, em torno da memória do Holocausto“ [Never Forget, around the memory of the Holocaust] and intends to honor the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance of which Portugal is a member, as well as sharing with society in general documents and objects left by refugees in the Porto Synagogue during World War II.
The foundation of the synagogue dates to 1923, with the initiatives of the Jewish community in Porto and of Captain Artur Barros Basto, who converted to Judaism.
The Porto Synagogue is only open to religious services and community activities of its members. If you are a Jewish tourist and want to participate in the ceremonies, you should send an email to tourism@community-israelite-port.org, with your identification. The ceremonies take place on Fridays at the end of the day and Saturdays in the morning, as well as on Jewish holidays.
