The story behind this mezuzah:When Czernek and Prugar arrived in Sokolow Podlaski on a Sunday morning, they saw the original door of the building had been replaced with a new one. They found the old door and door frame with a trace of a mezuzah in the backyard, next to the garbage. A resident of the building told them that the door had been replaced on Friday and would be taken to a garbage dump or burned on Monday. After hearing this, Czernek and Prugar immediately decided to save it and they brought it to Helena’s home. The building used to be a butcher’s shop, which sold non-kosher meat to customers who were not Jews.
