SUMMARY:Brest Litovsk Holocaust Memorial Inauguration
DESCRIPTION:Official opening of the Holocaust memorial on the site of the Jewish cemetery\, composed of rescued matzevot.  \nDesigned by the American artist Brad J. Goldberg\, the monument is an example of landscape art\, and will entail a broken circle of wall and walkway embracing a forest of around 600 re-erected matzevot or fragments. It will be built on land that was part of the destroyed cemetery. \nThe  British NGO the Together Plan\, dedicated to Jewish community development in Belarus\, is coordinating the project  in collaboration with its partner organisation in the USA\, Jewish Tapestry Project\, the Religious Jewish Union of Belarus\, and the international charitable organization Dialog in Belarus. \nThe salvaged gravestone remnants — all that remains of Brest’s once-vast Jewish cemetery — were removed from storage and returned to the cemetery on April 24.
