The Synagogue Treasures of Bohemia and Moravia PHOTOS

Description: The Synagogue Treasures of Bohemia and Moravia ENGLISH VG CONDITION, HARDCOVER A selection of early synagogue textiles from the collection of the Jewish Museum in Prague. The Jewish Museum was founded in 1906 by Dr. Hugo Lieben and Dr. Augustin Stein. After the Nazi invasion the Museum was closed, but when the Nazis began rounding up Jewish residents, closing synagogues and confiscating all Jewish property, Dr. Stein managed to negotiate to have special objects stored at the Museum under care of a group of Jewish scholars. Among the treasures thus saved were 10,000 religious textiles, including torah curtains, top draperies, torah mantles, covers, swaddling bands, cushions and other objects of the 17th- 20th centuries. After the War the Museum and its contents came under the control of the Soviet government, but in 1994 it was returned to the Jewish Community of Prague and has become an important and vibrant center for the preservation of Jewish art and artifacts. An exhibition catalog of some of these textiles has just been published by the Museum, but its coverage differs somewhat from the contents of this book. This 1949 study concentrated exclusively on the earlier textiles, from the 17th and 18th centuries. It also featured translations from the Hebrew inscriptions made by Dr. T.J. Jakobowits, Curator of the Museum, in 1942-1944, before he and his family were sent to their deaths in the concentration camps at the end of 1944. Hardcover. 6.5"x9", 39 pages of text plus 97 plates, some in color, of curtains and torah mantles; some wear and soil, tape marks on endpapers; hinges loose. plates : Full page illustrations or photographs. Plates are printed separately from the text of the book, and bound in at production. I.e., they are not sewn as parts of gatherings.
