Enlarge text Shrink text
  • Book

Commemorates the 77,297 Czech Jews murdered in the Holocaust, whose names are carved on 18 plaques in the Pinkas Synagogue in Prague. Pp. 13-32 present, on each page, an aspect of the Nazis' cruel measures, examples of individual suffering from those measures, and an appropriate biblical verse. Weil himself was persecuted during the Nazi occupation as a Jew, and also for his political activities. Aided by a Czech policeman, he escaped prison, faked suicide, and went into hiding. (From the Bibliography of the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism - The Hebrew University of Jerusalem)
