	Description:		On 7 February 1964, an unusual delivery was made to a synagogue in London. More than 1,500 Torah scrolls, lost since the end of World War Two, were arriving from Czechoslovakia. The sacred Jewish texts had belonged to communities destroyed by the Nazis. Alex Strangwayes-Booth talks to 91-year-old Philippa Bernard about the emotional charge of that day. A CTVC production for the BBC World Service. (Photo: Philippa beside the scrolls in Westminster Synagogue. Credit: BBC)
