Damaged Torah scroll used as kindling
Torah scroll that was used as kindling during Kristallnacht, November 9-10, 1938, near Bad Duerkheim, Germany. It was received by a pastor from a man with whom he was visiting. The pastor noticed that the man was starting a fire in his fireplace with fragments of a torah roll and asked to have it. The pastor later gave the scroll to Dr. Joachim Hahn. It is unknown what town the roll came from originally.
Parchment with burn marks and singed edges. It is fragile and warped.
