Three pendants bearing shema yisrael (“Hear O Israel”) on one side at a picture of Moses carrying the tablets on the other were discovered.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

A rusty road sign is seen outside the perimeter of a Nazi death camp in Sobibor September 18, 2014. An archaeological dig, which has been carried out since 2007, has recently revealed the location of gas chambers under a road at the Sobibor death camp, the Yad Vashem International Institute for Holo \/\u00a0 (photo credit: KACPER PEMPEL \/ REUTERS)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Three pendants bearing the Hebrew prayer\u00a0shema yisrael<\/em>\u00a0(“Hear O Israel”) have been\u00a0excavated at the Sobibor<\/a>\u00a0extermination camp in Poland, the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) announced on Thursday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Excavations at Sobibor – where approximately 250,000 Jews\u00a0were killed<\/a>\u00a0during the Holocaust – have been underway for decades now. On the second side of the pendant is a depiction of Moses and the tablets. The team was led by Yoram Haimi from IAA, Wojciech Mazurek from Poland and Ivar Schute from Holland, and was assisted by local residents.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Little is known about the stories behind the pendants, which are heartbreaking,” said Haimi.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the pendants was discovered in the remains of a building where Jews were undressed before being led to the gas chambers. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe personal and human aspect of the discovery of these pendants is chilling,” said Eli Eskozido, Director of the IAA.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It has been possible to identify a kind of tradition or fashion among the Jewish communities of Eastern Europe with pendants that were inscribed with \u201cShema Yisrael\u201d on one side and a depiction of Moses and the tablets of the Law on the opposite side,” he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
