1. The History of this Great art work
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (02.08.13)
during WWII is also worth to be told . In short , when nazis invaded Serajevo , they knew about this book . So a representative went to the museum and asked for it . To late , the conservator told him , a german officer took it yesterday . Who ? he did'nt give his name ... The thruth ? The conservator hid it in a house of his family in the mountains . And so this work was saved . There are Fac similies that were made of it . Some years ago i was in Brussels , some dips of rain began to fall . As i was just in front of a second hand bookshop , i entered , and saw "haggadah de Serajevo" on a book . Knowing what it was , i had seen some pages of it , i opened , great ! and the price was GREAT too . He didn't know what he had .
2. Save the museum

The bosnian people have always been favorable to the Jews. Its time for a Jewish donor to step in and save the museum.
