In 1939, the rabbi of the Polish village of Filipów hid a Torah scroll with his non-Jewish neighbours before being deported to Treblinka. For seventy years, the scroll remained hidden—but was found at last. It is being rewritten, letter by letter, by Holocaust survivors around the world through The Torah Project—an initiative of From the Depths. Once completed, it will find a new home in the synagogue of the President of Israel’s residence.
March of the Living Canada is honoured to host the Torah Project in Toronto. Please join us for a meaningful event, featuring opportunities for survivors to contribute letters to the scroll and remarks from Jonny Daniels, Founder of From the Depths, and Rachel Libman, Chief Curator of the new Toronto Holocaust Museum—opening in 2023.
All Holocaust survivors are invited to attend and take their turn to script a letter during signing hours.
