tags: German Jews, torah scroll 

A Torah scroll damaged by Nazis during the Kristallnacht - the Night of Broken Glass- was returned on Friday to a synagogue in Cologne to mark the 69th anniversary of the pogrom against Jews throughout Germany.

Members of the German city's Jewish community took turns carrying the scroll that had been painstakingly restored in Jerusalem.

The ceremony was attended by Israel's Chief Rabbis Yona Metzger and Schlomo Moshe Amar.
