František Mořic Nágl - Czech 1889-1944. Prayer Service In Theresienstadt Ghetto
About the Item
A spiritually moving painting by František Mořic Nágl depicting a group of Jewish men gathered in prayer, in the Theresienstadt Ghetto's makeshift sacred space. The men wear traditional prayer shawls (tallit), and hats, and pray from prayer books. At the center of the scene is a Torah ark adorned with a Star of David and a crown symbol, highlighting the sacredness of the space. The setting appears dimly lit, creating a solemn and reflective atmosphere.
The brushstrokes and watercolor technique conveys a sense of intimacy and reverence, with muted colors emphasizing the spiritual focus of the gathering. This artwork, created during a historical hardship period, reflects communal resilience and devotion.
Theresienstadt Ghetto was established by the SS during World War II in the fortress town of Terezín, in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. Theresienstadt served as a waystation to the extermination camps.
Note: A work by the artist is held at the Yad Vashem Art Museum, Jerusalem
