On the top floor of the Maisel Synagogue, there is the
tunnel room with one by four framing which holds thousands
of torah mantels of every describable design and material,
from fine oriental brocades of the 15th century to homemade
pulled laces and hand-sewn embroidery of the last century. When
the door was first opened after the war, the sight of this huge collection
|
was truly overwhelming as it represented hundreds of
synagogues and thousands of families who perished.
