In 1988, while visiting Częstochowa, Poland, Harry Rapaport made a remarkable discovery: a trove of Torah scrolls hidden in the attic of a wartime factory that had previously been a Jewish ritual bathhouse. Although heavily damaged, these religious artifacts are a living memorial to the local Jewish communities who perished during the Holocaust. Come learn about how one of these scrolls found its way to the Kupferberg Holocaust Center, and the yearlong process involved to both restore and remount this powerful historical artifact.

This event is part of the Harriet & Kenneth Kupferberg Holocaust Center’s (KHC) Human Rights and the Museum Series, a collaboration between the KHC and the Museum and Gallery Studies Program in the Art and Design Department at Queensborough Community College (QCC).
