Restoring Memory of the Jewish Past in Russia, Poland and Ukraine
Event Sponsor
Overview
This panel is part of the Council of American Jewish Museums' 2018 Annual Conference day at the Wilson Center.
Today, material traces of Jewish life are disappearing rapidly in the post-Soviet space; vanishing along with them is the memory of Jewish presence in the region. This session will ask: what remains of that Jewish past and how is it being represented? How is the history of the Holocaust represented there—where such history was suppressed for decades? What role can American-Jewish museums play, if any, in assisting such efforts?
