Description:
- Entrance to the museum is complemented by a visit to the nearby synagogue. Some of the magnificent objects on display include crowns, silverware, Torahs, and tallits (the cloak that Jews wear during prayers.) One section shows the persecution the Jews have endured through the 2000 years of their history. There are copies of the Papal edict that banned Jews from certain activities during the 16th century, and accounts of the Nazi horrors in the concentration camps. The ticket to the museum includes a visit to the nearby synagogue facing the Tiber, which was built in 1870.
