Die wundersame Rettung einer alten Torarolle

Wenn am Mittwoch im Bundestag der Opfer des Holocausts gedacht wird, spielt auch die älteste Tora Süddeutschlands eine Rolle. Sie ist 228 Jahre alt und stammt aus der Oberpfalz. Ihre Geschichte ist die einer wundersamen Rettung.

von Kristina Sandig

Diese Aufnahme aus dem Juni 2015 in der Amberger Synagoge zeigt die 1793 geweihte Torarolle vor der rund zweijährigen Restaurierung in Israel. Am Mittwoch, 27. Januar, werden im Bundestag in Berlin ihre letzten Buchstaben geschrieben.
