This Torah scroll is not complete. For a time, it was kept in a Christian institution in Jerusalem. An accompanying letter states that a German soldier rescued the scroll from the burning synagogue in Vitebsk (Belarus) and brought it to Germany.
Wood, parchment, 65x8.5cm. Donated by Mrs Schöneweiß from Vöhl-Obernburg.
