Jewish Nesvizh – honouring a lost community and inspiring a living legacy
Jewish Nesvizh – honouring a lost community and inspiring a living legacy
7pm GMT, 9pm Israel, 10pm Belarus, 2pm EST, 11am PST
This is the first of a three part series of Jewish Nesvizh.
Join us for an unforgettable talk exploring the extraordinary story of the Jewish community of Nesvizh, once a vibrant centre of Jewish life in Belarus. Through centuries, Nesvizh’s Jewish residents contributed richly to the town’s cultural, social, and economic life until their world was destroyed during the Holocaust.
This engaging presentation will bring the history of Jewish Nesvizh to life and will also introduce an inspiring new campaign to create a unique and powerful memorial in Nesvizh, a work of art and remembrance that will celebrate the life, culture, and spirit of the Jews who once called the town home.
Join us to uncover the hidden story of Nesvizh’s Jewish past, learn how it connects to Jewish heritage today, and find out how you can be part of building a legacy that ensures this history is never forgotten.
