Czech Memorial Scrolls Trust and Museum

In 1942, a group of members of Prague’s Jewish community devised a way to bring the religious treasures from the deserted communities and destroyed synagogues to the comparative safety of Prague.  The Nazis were persuaded to accept the plan and more than 100,000 artifacts were brought to the Museum.  Among them were about 1,800 Torah scrolls.  Each was meticulously recorded, labeled and entered on a card index by the Museum’s staff with a description of the Scroll and the place it had come from.
