- Brief Narrative
- The prayer-book has a brown cover with gold leaf detailing and contains daily and weekly prayers. There is a handwritten inscription in Hungarian on the inside front cover that states: "I have received this prayer-book on June 3, 1945, in Theresienstadt. Most likely one of my wretched, tortured, murdered relatives had used it to worship the Almighty, but He got disgusted with His people living the European civilization and pronounced His "judgment," ("curse") upon them which, however, was still not harsh enough. / O my Lord, Creator of the world, open the eyes of the blind so they could see, open the ears of the deaf so they could hear; annihilate the stiff-necked, the stubborn, as You see fit, You, fair-minded (righteous) Judge! Amen." translated into English by donor
