About this talk
After having visited the main cities of Ukraine, in this fourth part of our Jewish Ukraine series we will explore the shtetls of Berdichev, Chernowitz, Vizhnitsa, Hotin, Medzhibozh, Minkovtsy, Murapha, Husyatin, and Chortkiv, symbols of a bygone era in Jewish history.
Uncover the stories and memories embedded in the cobblestone streets of these towns, once vibrant hubs of Jewish life. Delve into the heart of these now lost communities, exploring the architectural wonders of synagogues and private homes. Learn about the bonds that connected neighbors, the celebrations that echoed through the streets, the challenges they faced, and the resilience that allowed them to navigate through turbulent times.
Join us on this virtual expedition to resurrect the past and honor the legacy of Jewish life in Ukrainian shtetls. Let us bridge the gap between generations and weave together the threads of a remarkable heritage.
