"V Holešove byla židovská obec (ghetto) již v 15. století. Židovská obec si vybudovala také puvodní drevenou synagogu, ale ta pri požáru v roce 1560 shorela. Proto si hned potom vybudovala synagogu novou, která stojí dodnes. Tato renesancní budova se v jádre dochovala do dnešní doby, i když byla v roce 1615 upravena a rozšírena prístavbou predsíne a výtvarne sjednocena vnitrními úpravami r. 1737."

The Jewish community (ghetto) is recorded in the 15th century. The Jewish community built the original wooden synagogue, but that in a fire in 1560 burned. Therefore, immediately afterwards was built a new synagogue that still stands. This Renaissance building survived until today, even though it was in 1615 adapted and expanded annex hallway and artistically unified internal modifications r. 1737.
