For 20 years, 1,564 Czech Torah Scrolls looted by the Nazis lay in the damp ruined Michle synagogue outside Prague. Rescued by a Jewish philanthropist and placed under the auspices of the Memorial Scrolls Trust (MST), these Torah Scrolls have become symbols of Jewish continuity. MST is now graciously loaning a Torah Scroll, once used by the Jewish community of Olomouc, to Beit Theresienstadt where it will become an inspirational source of a unique Bar/Bat Mitzvah Jewish Heritage educational program.

Beit Theresienstadt, together with B’nai B’rith International, the International March of the Living,  the Terezin Memorial and the Jewish Museum in Prague, will rededicate the MST Torah Scroll at the Czech Republic annual Commemoration of the Liberation of Theresienstadt. The final event of this Journey of Remembrance and Renewal will take place when the MST Olomouc Torah Scroll will be installed to its new educational home at Museum Beit Theresienstadt (Kibbutz Givat Haim Ihud).
