from 6 May at 6 pm

opening of the new exhibition

The collection of Torah scrolls from Czech and Moravian synagogues was collected in Prague in 1942. Most of this unique collection was sold in 1964 to London, where the MST Foundation was established to commemorate the vanished Jewish communities in pre-war Czechoslovakia. What the places where the Moravian scrolls came from look like today, and how the paradigm of Torah memorial scrolls is slowly changing, this exhibition, along with a brief historical introduction, will suggest.
