Miniature
silver Chanukah menorah manufactured in the Lodz ghetto. When
closed, the folding lamp has the shape of a book. It contains nine
small oil-holders and tongs. As it is portable, it enables the owner
to fulfill the obligation of kindling the Chanukah lights even under
difficult conditions. The lamp was made in a workshop in the ghetto
and presented by the employees to Zusia Ejbuszyc, the manager of the
ghetto's paper factory.
Ejbuszyc
gave the lamp, with a dedication, to the chairman of the ghetto's
Jewish Council, Mordechai Chaim Rumkowski, on Chanukah 1944. It was
found after the war in the ruins of Rumkowski's house in the former
ghetto.
