Debra Brunner speaking on Holocaust Memorial Day in Newcastle
a look back and moving forward
As we close out 2024, we’re thrilled to bring you an amazing roundup of this year’s achievements in our December newsletter. Read about the miraculous story of how we stepped in to save a burial in Belarus, and new possibilities for Jewish burials in the country. We also share the latest updates on the construction of the Brest-Litovsk Jewish cemetery memorial, a vital project preserving history and honouring those who came before us. Excitingly, we’re kicking off the second in-school pilot of our Making History Together Holocaust education programme, building on the success of last year’s initiative. And don’t miss a very special story about an author with personal ties to Brest, where our memorial is taking shape.
Thank you for being a part of our journey in 2024. Your support has made all of this possible, and we can’t wait to share more with you in the year ahead!
Wishing you happy holidays and hopes for a happy and peaceful new year.
All the best

The Together Plan: 2024 in review
As the year comes to a close, we at The Together Plan are proud to reflect on an extraordinary year filled with milestones, achievements, and impactful initiatives.
a historic moment for Jewish ritual in Belarus and hidden history
In collaboration with our official partner, the Jewish Religious Union of Belarus (JRU), we have been at the heart of a momentous development that holds great promise for the Jewish community and we performed the impossible.
progress on the Brest-Litovsk Jewish cemetery memorial
The construction of the Brest-Litovsk Jewish cemetery memorial is progressing at a steady pace. The weather in Belarus remains mild, allowing construction to continue uninterrupted.
a Journey into the hidden history of Jewish Belarus - a new approach to Holocaust education
At The Together Plan, we are proud to lead the way in an area of Holocaust education yet to be discovered through our compelling six-module programme, Making History Together.
embracing digital innovations for cultural heritage
The Together Plan is thrilled to announce its participation in an exciting initiative aimed at upskilling staff through digital, creative gamification, and innovative strategies to enhance the European Union’s Cultural Routes.
remember Bronna Gora: Andrea Simon keeps Jewish history alive through storytelling
Andrea Simon began writing her incredibly moving novel, Esfir is Alive with three main intentions: to include characters that represented her relatives from Volchin, to help readers understand the rich Jewish life in Poland and Belarus before the Holocaust.
