A Virtual Tour of the Once Jewish Towns of Eastern Europe

with Evgenia Kempinski

We will visit selected shtetls from all ends of Eastern Europe – Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine, and Belarus. We will walk down their old streets, look at the Jewish homes, and see how general shtetl features are reflected in these particular towns. We will discuss the relations between Jews and Christians, as well as the political and social life in these shtetls. We will see how shtetl life changed over the centuries. Combining old and new photographs and people’s memoirs we will travel through time to imagine and understand the life of our ancestors.
