All the objects exhibited can be seen today because during the Holocaust, in 1943, two brave museologists, Mrs. Tápay Gabriella Szabó and Mrs. Bárány Magda Oberschall wrapped the items in wooden boxes and hid them in the basement of the Hungarian National Museum. Among them was this Torah pointer offered as a donation in 1764, which later, in 1910 was bought by the Committee of the Jewish Museum.
