Exclusive online event!
Join us for a powerful update on the construction of the Brest-Litovsk Jewish Cemetery Memorial and learn about the next steps in this groundbreaking and historic campaign.
The Story of Brest-Litovsk (Brisk): A Tale of Tragedy and Triumph
Over the last two decades, approximately 1,250 gravestones from the desecrated Jewish cemetery in Brest have been recovered, each telling the story of a vibrant community that once thrived. These gravestones are soon to become part of a stunning memorial park, transforming loss into a beacon of remembrance and renewal.
Why This Memorial Matters
Commemoration for the Present and Future: The memorial park will provide the Jewish community in Brest with a sacred space to honour their ancestors, fostering connection and continuity.
Connection Across Continents: For those with ancestral ties to Brest, this project creates a meaningful bridge to the past, ensuring their heritage is never forgotten.
A Cultural Landmark: As part of the Belarus Jewish cultural heritage route, the memorial will enrich the nation’s history and promote understanding of its diverse past.
A Stand Against Oblivion: By restoring this cemetery and its stories, we confront the past’s atrocities and resist the rising tide of antisemitism today.
This event will take you behind the scenes of the project, sharing insights into the memorial’s progress, its significance, challenges and the vision for its completion. You’ll also learn how your support can make an impact in this campaign for resilience, remembrance, and resistance.
