#4Coincidentally just minutes ago I came out of a “parents learning session” at my synagogue about the Czech Torah scrolls, ehich I didn’t know about previously.
During he Holocaust, thousands of Czech scrolls taken from scattered synagogues, to a main synagogue in Prague. An old rumour, though now thought to be inaccurate, was that Hitler wanted to document the culture of the race he eliminated.
Many of these scrolls have deterioated, some have been restored, and they are now distributed on-loan to many Jewish communities around the world, not just as working Torah’s but as part of the living story of persecution and perseverance.

Judging by the other early comments, this article seems to be triggering the dark underbelly of the HN community to make an appearance.

I feel the same (sorry dang about "you are not allowed to discuss downvoting here" policy).
The only explanation is that there is still some anti-Jewish sentiment and somehow it's present also among the HN folks, hopefully in a fraction of a promille.
