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.
