Torah scroll

A Torah scroll saved from a Czechoslovakian synagogue is displayed. Behind the facade of a Berlin synagogue visitors see religious life as it was before the Holocaust and after Kristallnacht (the Night of Broken Glass) in 1938, when Jewish property and synagogues were destroyed. The world, with few exceptions, failed to respond to the plight of Jews. Denmark saved most of its Jewish citizens. Jews from other countries were deported to ghettos and camps, where many died.
