FEEDBACK
[ thank you ]
Abigail Morris, Director of Jewish Museum London
«I think what you are doing today is just fantastic, it proves once again that the Jews and other national communities that historically live on these lands may feel at home here again».
Radio Belarus
«The Belarusian-Jewish Cultural Heritage Center has been out there for less than a year. And even though the organization has no space of its own for now, it does not prevent these enthusiasts from implementing large-scale projects and returning the long forgotten names into the Belarusian cultural context, revealing the previously unknown pages of our common history».
«Belarus Digest», UK
«Such events prove that borders are starting to shift. Belarus is slowly evolving on an international scene and becoming a convenient space for organising cultural and IT events. Hopefully, the trend will continue and Belarus will see more interest from the international community».
"The Forward", USA
«At the end of 1930 the Soviet authorities destroyed the face of the Belarusian-Jewish culture. Now the young Belarusian intellectuals are willing to discover the ruined and forgotten cultural heritage».
