Dr. Maros Borsky will give the talk “Preserving Jewish Heritage in Bratislava and Slovakia” and describe the Jewish community museum in Bratislava in a presentation February 26 in Tel Aviv, sponsored by the Slovak embassy in Israel.
Borsky is the founder and director of the museum, which opened in 2012 in the women’s gallery of Bratislava’s Heydukova street synagogue, a cubist-inspired building dating from the 1926s and designed by the Bratislava-based Jewish architect Artur Szalatnai-Slatinsky.
Borsky also is the founder of the Synagoga Slovaca website, research operation and database, including the Slovak Jewish Heritage Route and the Slovak Jewish Heritage Center, and the author of books about Slovak synagogue architecture and Slovak Jewish heritage.
