Desecrated Torah scroll from a synagogue in Marburg, Germany, that was vandalized during Kristallnacht, November 9-10, 1938. The scroll was given to Joseph Tauber in the late 1960s for safekeeping by an unnamed German woman who told him that the scroll was desecrated during the Night of Broken Glass or Kristallnacht. It had been given to her to preserve by the person who took it from the synagogue in order to protect it.
