Slide 2 - Countries

Countries

Click on a country to take you to that country's home page, where you will find bibliographies, Jewish communal contacts, and links to Jewish museums, cultural and research institutions with Jewish holdings or focus, Jewish heritage and heritage sites, news items — and much more. (Rather than provide extensive information for most heritage sites, we have aggregated links and link to local web sites and data bases where you can find details.)

Some of the country pages have less content than others… Jewish Heritage Europe is a developing resource and we are adding more and more content on a daily basis — so please come back!

Slide 3 - Cemeteries

Cemeteries

Visit the JHE Jewish Cemeteries Portal, where we draw together news, information and resources about Jewish cemeteries and gravestones, as well as information on best-practices and on preservation and documentation. If you have a question you can ask for advice on projects — through the new EJCAN European Jewish Cemetery Advisory Network.

Have Your Say

In addition to our frequently updated News Feed, JHE publishes longer articles -- including our regular series of "Have Your Say" personal essays and op-eds.

Each of these essays reflects personal involvement or analysis by scholars, experts, and hands-on Jewish heritage stakeholders.

We keep them in an archive -- where you can read them for more in-depth insight and first-hand stories.

Exploring the hidden Jewish heritage on the Romanian shore of the Danube: The REDISCOVER project in Galați — and its pandemic-era online festival

Over the past three years, REDISCOVER, a project financed by the EU’s Danube Transnational Programme, joined 18 partners in eight countries whose aim was to reveal and promote often hidden Jewish heritage and encourage Jewish heritage tourism as a component of local tourism. Galați, a port town on the Danube in northern Romania’s Moldavia region, was one of the nine mid-sized cities that formed the REDISCOVER network. In this essay, Anca Filipovici, of the Romanian Institute for Research on National Minorities, describes how the REDISCOVER project was implemented there with a multifaceted Jewish culture festival — held online because of the pandemic.
