SUMMARY:An Italian Journey: Discovering the Jewish Cultural Heritage
DESCRIPTION:A temporary exhibit at Italy’s  National Museum of Italian Judaism and the Shoah (MEIS) in Ferrara uses archival photographs\, documents\, and correspondence to “rethink” Italy’s Jewish heritage and show how it is an integral part of the country’s landscape and history. \n\n\nCalled “An Italian Journey: Discovering the Jewish Cultural Heritage\,” the exhibit opened October 10 and will run until June 14\, 2026. \n\nThe contents of the exhibition come from two archives: the collection of Ernő Munkácsi in the Hungarian Jewish Museum and Archives in Budapest\, which features images of Jewish Italy gathered between 1927 and 1940\, and the photographic and documentary archive of the Federazione delle Associazioni Culturali Ebraiche (Federation of Jewish Cultural Associations)\, from the 1920s and 1930s. \n

SUMMARY:Painted Prayers exhibition - synagogue murals in Ukrainian Bukovina
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition “Painted Prayers” presents the murals in synagogues of the Ukrainian Bukovina and addresses the threat and destruction of cultural assets by the war. It also documents German-Ukrainian cooperation in the preservation of Jewish cultural heritage in Ukraine. \nThere is also a series of lectures linked to the exhibition. \nThe exhibition presents murals of selected synagogues in the Ukrainian part of Bukovina. It is based on the long-standing art historical research of Eugeny Kotlyar and on a new photographic and digital 3D documentary\, which make visible both the diversity and artistic significance of these paintings and the threat to this significant cultural heritage of the Jewish population in the Bukovina. The historic buildings are presented against the background of the Jewish history and culture of the region. \nA special highlight is the 3D recreation of the synagogue in Novoselitza\, which was created as part of a documentation project – in cooperation with the architecture institute of the Mainz University of Applied Sciences and the Ukrainian company Skeiron. \nRead more

SUMMARY:Unimaginable: The Void after the Great Synagogues
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition is dedicated to the — destroyed — monumental synagogues built mostly in the 19th and early 20th centuries\, in a variety of styles ranging from Neo-Gothic to Moorish. The exhibition draws attention to the scale of destruction of pre-war monuments of sacred architecture. The reasons for the annihilation of these remarkable buildings were hatred and violence — hatred toward everything Jewish\, and violence against people and their material culture. Destroyed and — from today’s perspective — unimaginable\, these beautiful\, monumental synagogues were never rebuilt after World War II. \nBringing together examples from 13 cities across Poland\, the exhibition serves both as a commemoration and as an act of education about a heritage lost forever. Opening the exhibition on the 86th anniversary of the burning of the Great Synagogue in Oświęcim — an event that took place on the night of November 29–30\, 1939 — was a deliberate gesture shifting the focus from the date of violence to an act of remembrance.

SUMMARY:The Shtetl: Myth and Reality
DESCRIPTION:In this online lecture — part of a series celebrating YIVO’s  the 101st anniversary — YIVO Visiting Research Historian Samuel Kassow will explore the “real shtetl” and the “imagined shtetl\,” which both formed an integral part of Eastern European Jewish peoplehood. \nIndeed the “shtetl” meant many things to many people. For many Zionists and Jewish leftists\, the shtetl was a pathetic symbol of Jewish backwardness. Others cherished it as a place of real Jewishness\, that fixed point that gave Jews in the diaspora the feeling of being home. The destruction of the Holocaust encouraged this nostalgia for the lost shtetl\, especially as many Jews in the post-war world\, newly comfortable and secure in their new homes\, showed a new interest in their ethnic roots. \nNOTE: The talk will take place at 1 p.m. New York time\, or 7 p.m. CET. \nSamuel Kassow\, Charles H. Northam Professor of History at Trinity College\, holds a PhD from Princeton University and is a Fellow of the American Academy of Jewish Research. From 2006 until 2013\, he was the lead historian for two galleries of the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw\, which opened in 2014. Professor Kassow is the author of Who Will Write Our History? Emanuel Ringelblum and the Secret Ghetto Archive (Indiana University Press\, 2007)\, which received the Orbis Prize of the AAASS; was a finalist for a National Jewish Book Award; and has been translated into eight languages. White Goat Press recently published his translation of Warsaw Testament by Rokhl Auerbach\, which received a National Jewish Book Award. A child of Holocaust survivors\, Professor Kassow was born in a displaced-persons camp in Germany. \nThe lecture is free but registration is requited — click here to register \n
