The Heroes of the Czech Scroll Story

For the 2022 Texas Holocaust Remembrance Week, the HMMSA is leading a community-wide effort to offer twenty special topic presentations. The focus of the lectures will be on instilling in the students, educators, and general audience Elie Wiesel’s message that “the opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference.”

Join Lois Roman from Memorial Scrolls Trust for a presentation entitled: The Heroes of the Czech Scroll Story.

“The Memorial Scrolls Trust in London cares for 1564 Torah scrolls that represent the lost Jewish communities of Bohemia and Moravia. The scrolls arrived in London in 1964, after being stored for more than 20 years in the former Michle Synagogue in Prague. This presentation will discuss some of the heroes that helped save these scrolls.”
