Research findings
Who gave this mizrach to the museum and who the original owner was is no longer known.
Although this mizrach was already in the collection in the 1970s, when it was acquired is unclear. It is thought at the museum that the print originally hung in the synagogue in Veendam, which was demolished in the early 1950s. Scrutiny of photos of the interior has produced no further information. The print may have belonged to a private owner. The mizrach is listed in the Museum Acquisitions 1940-1948 report (Amsterdam 1999). The mizrach features Dutch translations of Hebrew texts illustrated with allegorical references to biblical stories about hope, strength and restoring faith.
