Amazing and extremely valuable Kosher Torah scroll, complete with the 2 Atzei Chayim (Wooden Handles on the Torah) incredibly decorated with silver adorns, mother-of-pearl or pearl fine marquetry work and on the top left one gold ring.
Silver fittings were made at the Israel Szekman jewelery workshop in Warsaw in 1896.
This Torah is dated from 1897 and manufactured by Mayer Fiszman in Warsaw. It still has the 2 old strips made from a kind of satin cloth to keep both scrolls together.
It was found hidden one street outside of the Lodz Ghetto walls (Litzmannstadt during German occupation) inside a house hidden under the floor.
This was likely hidden by the original owner to prevent its destruction by the invading Germans in 1939.
An amazing historical piece directly connected to Holocaust and Polish Jewish history.
It is a miracle that it survived the war in such great condition! In this state of preservation, it is certainly a unique item and deserves a peaceful future in a Holocaust museum, foundation, or a high end collection.
