“The Valmadonna Trust

is the finest private collection of Hebrew books and manuscripts in the world (according to Sotheby’s). Amassed over the past century, the group of 11,000 works is significant as a primary source on both world  and literary history and Jewish life and culture. The auction house (Sotheby’s) is seeking a buyer for what’s considered the greatest collection of Judaica in private hands.” ULA ILNYTZKY, Associated Press Writer
