The first row of photos below the maps are of postcards found on a Polish site, and having entered the search for "Nowy Targ." (Thanks to Yoel Hirsch for finding this.)

Sally Mizroch traveled to Nowy Targ, at the end of June 2016. Her photos of the town and surrounding areas can be see on Flickr. One of Sally's photos is that of the
"Tatry" kino (movie theater). This was actually the site of the
synagogue, on 17 J. Kazmierski street. It was badly damaged
during WW II, and eventually converted into the kino.
The photos below are probably at the rear of the theater and signs of the former synagogue are discerned from the arches in the wall.

| Photo taken in 1975, note arches of former synagogue windows on left side. (From p. 328 in the Nowy Targ Book, edited by Michael Walzer-Fass, published in 1979). | Same view, taken 2011, captured from a frame in the You-tube video noted on the home page. | Same view once again, from one of Sally Mizroch's photos, June 2016. Note graffiti still there, but faded. |
