19 July 2024Press

As part of the Nazi-looted property project, Philipp Zschommler, research associate at the chair of Rabbi Prof. Birgit Klein, announced a new restitution.

Franz Fischhof was the custodian of the Prague Altneuschul and was active in many other functions for the IKG Prague - until he and his family were deported to Thesesienstadt in March 1943.
A book in his possession has now been returned to his grandchildren in Bnei Brak/Israel.
