| Description |
The Jewish Museum in Prague was established in 1906. Under Nazi rule, it served for a while as a storehouse for artifacts taken from the synagogues of Prague, until in April 1942 it was reopened as a museum with the approval of the Central Office for the Regulation of the Jewish Question in Bohemia and Moravia. There was a strange cooperation between the Nazi authorities and the Jewish scholars who worked at the museum. The former emptied the provincial Jewish museums, synagogues, etc., and the latter recorded the newly arriving items. Exhibitions held at the museum were intended only for a small circle of high-ranking Nazi officials. The main interest of the Nazis in concentrating the Jewish artifacts at the museum was in assessing their value the interest of the Jewish scholars who worked at the Museum was not only to preserve the records of Jewish culture in Bohemia and Moravia, but also to delay their deportation. Notes that only a few of them survived. (From the Bibliography of the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism - The Hebrew University of Jerusalem) |
