    Timely reminder for Holocaust Day.
    "Three pendants bearing the Hebrew prayer Shema Yisrael (“Hear O Israel”) have been excavated at the Sobibor extermination camp in Poland, the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) announced on Thursday.
    Two of the amulets depict Moses holding the Ten Commandments on the reverse side.
    Researchers have been able to identify that the three pendants, all different from one another and made by hand, originated in Eastern Europe.
    One came from Lviv in Ukraine, and the other two from Poland and Czechoslovakia."
