The World

Communities that close or merge with other Czech scroll-holder communities are obliged to return their scroll to the Trust. Besides those allocated in the United Kingdom, Scrolls have been sent to:

Silent Witness
The Czech scrolls are survivors and silent witnesses. They represent not only the lost communities of Bohemia and Moravia, all those who perished in the Shoah. The MST encourages al their scroll-holders to use their scrolls for inter and intra-faith work, as well as for ritual and education.
An identity plaque was attached to every scroll allocated. However not all scroll-holders requested replacements when necessary. Over the years some communities are not sure which of their scrolls was received from the MST or even aware they have one of our scrolls. We continue the task of locating and identifying missing scrolls. So that they may be used appropriately.
