On 16th May 2023, the ESJF hosted a conference to explore the role of public authorities in protecting Jewish cemeteries in areas where Jewish communities were wiped out in the Shoah. The conference marked the end of a series of masterclasses in the project countries and raised awareness of Jewish Cemeteries as a unique part of European cultural heritage, a source of information about European Jewry and a sacred space that should be protected.
Participants from across Europe were invited to develop partnerships, present their protection proposals, and discuss challenges of preserving Jewish cemeteries.
