Artifacts Salvaged from the Destruction
Glass windows display the artifacts salvaged by lsraei's former Chief Rabbi, Rabbi Herzog.
On display are the following pieces:

1. Yellow arm patches

2. Jacket sewn from Torah Parchments, which a Nazi officer wore to a ball in order to infuriate the Jews. Revenge was taken by the Jewish tailor forced to desecrate the holy scrolls. He chose Leviticus XXVI as his "cloth," a chapter enumerating all the curses possible of being brought into the world.

3. Shoe soles, bags, envelopes and drums made from Torah scrolls

4. Siddur of Beryle-the "prayer-book" of a boy who, knowing only the "Aleph-Bet" prayed that G-d would join his letters into meaningful prayers.
