This photograph shows Atlanta, Georgia mayor William Hartsfield (left) and Jacob Rothschild, rabbi of the Hebrew Benevolent Congregation in Atlanta, examining rubble on October 13, 1958, the day after the bombing of the congregation's synagogue, known as "the Temple." They crouch in front of a hole that has been blown in the side of the structure. Debris is piled around the building. The Temple was bombed on October 12, 1958, probably in response to the civil rights activism of Rabbi Rothschild.
