Thanks, Geoff - I couldn't make that url work:

I'm not sure why the 'related internet links' both seem to be about

The article fails to mention the presence of a large number of Jews -
Marcos Albuquerque of the Federal University of Pernambuco has ecavated
the Synagogue, and there have been plans (perhaps executed) to rebuild
it and provide an interpretation centre.
Cheers,
Pat
