In 2015, "From The Depths" began restoring a Torah scroll saved during the Holocaust. During the darkest days of World War II in German-occupied Poland, an Orthodox Rabbi entrusted a neighboring Polish shepherd with the sacred scroll. Years later, the holy book was found by two students from the University of Warsaw, hidden under a sofa at the same house in the village of Filipów. Although badly damaged, scholars and scientists worked to bring this Torah back to life. In this encore presentation from 2017, Torah Project makes a stop in Beverly Hills on a journey around the world with Holocaust Survivors to resurrect the Holy Torah one letter at a time.
