Comments

Dziewiąta z serii monet Chanuka przedstawia damasceńską lampę z XVIII wieku. Syria, która uzyskała niepodległość w 1946 roku, uniemożliwiła życie swojej mniejszości żydowskiej. Spośród trzydziestu tysięcy mieszkających tam Żydów, około dwudziestu tysięcy przedostało się do Palestyny w ciągu dwóch lat, a w latach pięćdziesiątych kolejne pięć tysięcy zdołało uciec. Syryjska lampa Hanukka miała przypominać, że resztki społeczności żydowskich w Damaszku, Allepo i Kamiszli powoli umierały w niewoli, zamknięte w gettach, narażone na upokorzenia, pozbawione elementarnych praw, odcięte od wszelkich źródeł utrzymania, czekając na dzień, w którym będą mogły wyjść z ciemności do światła, z niewoli do wolności.

The ninth in the series of Hanukka coins depicts a Damascus lamp dating from the 18th Century. Syria, which gained its independence in 1946, made life impossible for its Jewish minority. Of thirty thousand Jews who lived there, some twenty thousand made their way to Palestine within two years, and during the 1950s, another five thousand managed to escape. The Syrian Hanukka lamp was meant to serve as a reminder that the remnants of the Jewish communities in Damascus, Allepo and Kamishli were slowly dying in captivity, locked in ghettos, exposed to humiliation, denied elementary rights, cut off from any source of livelihood, awaiting the day they could emerge from darkness into light, from servitude to freedom.
