Lithographic Print - The Siddur that Saved a Jew from a Bullet - Austria 1914
During WWI, a bullet was shot by a Russian soldier towards the heart of a Jew. The bullet hit the siddur this Jew carried with him, thus sparing his life. To commemorate this miraculous event, the family brought the siddur to a craftsman to create this lithographic print which displays the siddur showing the perforation made by the bullet. Austria, 1914.
"1914" appears in the upper part, the story is on the lower part, in German.
Source: A granddaughter of the protagonist's family.
Size: 30x30 cm. Slight tears in the upper and lower margins, restored on the reverse with pasted paper. Fine condition.
