Torah Scroll Hidden in Lodz Ghetto 80 Years Ago Found in Wall of Wooden Shack
(Jerusalem Post) A 150-year-old Torah scroll was found inside the wall of a shack slated for demolition in the Polish city of Lodz on a street that was part of the Jewish ghetto during the Holocaust. The Torah scroll was hidden by Jews almost 80 years ago in the ghetto. The Lodz ghetto was established in April 1940 and became the second-largest ghetto created by the Nazis. About 164,000 Jews were held there before it was finally liquidated toward the end of 1944.
