Michael Stein has written a long article on the CzechPosition web site about Jewish Heritage Europe and its launch at Hanukkah in Prague.
Jewish Heritage Europe is a project of the Rothschild Foundation (Hanadiv) Europe and aims to serve as an online clearinghouse for all news, information and contacts about Jewish heritage from as far east as Turkey and Russia to the UK and Portugal. The focus will be on built Jewish heritage, meaning synagogues, cemeteries and other architectural remnants of Jewish culture that attest to a presence on the continent stretching back to Antiquity.

The site organizes information and links into individual countries as well into categories such as news, issues, museums and people. The country pages offer a historical summary of that particular Jewish community and a breakdown of what remains in terms of built heritage as well as links to lists of heritage sites and relevant publications.
The Forward web site picked up the story for its Schmooze blog.
