The second edition of Štetl Fest centers on the theme of trains.
Trains served as a means of transport for Jewish emigres as well as connection among families and businesses. They also served as escape for Jewish and other refugees seeking freedom from the gradually occupied territories under Nazis control. But tragically, the infamous death trains transported thousands of Jews to death camps and concentration camps. However, trains also carried survivors home and to this day continue to aid those fleeing the ongoing war in Ukraine.
As part of the festival, a memorial dedicated to the deported Jews will be unveiled at Platform 5 of the Brno Main Train Station.
There will also be concerts, talks, and guided tours of the Brno Jewish cemetery and Jewish architectural heritage (some tours in English).
The ŠTETL FEST festival is held under the auspices of the Prime Minister of the Czech Republic, the Ambassador of the State of Israel, the Minister of Culture of the Czech Republic, the Mayor of the Statutory City of Brno, the President of the Constitutional Court of the Czech Republic, the Governor of the South Moravian Region and the Rector of Masaryk University.

The 8th edition of the “alternative” Jewish arts and activism festival in Krakow that runs in parallel with the big Krakow Jewish Culture Festival.
FestivALT strives to elevate and normalize the representation of Jewish voices negotiating the intricate terrain of Jewish culture, especially within publicly-funded institutions such as festivals, museums, and cultural spaces. It confronts the unsettling phenomena of neglect, appropriation, and commodification of Jewish material heritage and memory.
The 33rd edition of the biggest and best-known Jewish culture festival in Europe. Concerts, lectures, exhibits, guided tours, workshops, films, meetings, and other activities…

Some of the other sites are well known, but some are out of the way and well off the beaten track — in Prague, only the Jerusalem (or Jubilee) synagogue is on the roster. Some of the sites are generally closed to the public; some have recently undergone extensive renovation or are in the process of restoration. In some places, such as in Pacov, Mikulov, and Černovice, there are programs such as guided tours and concerts.
The first “Shalom Chaverim” Jewish culture festival, in Bratislava and several other locations in the Bratislava Self-Government Region of Slovakia.
