Peer into a dozen different Eastern European synagogues in various stages of disrepair and ruin, from the grand, abandoned synagogues that still house pre-War religious artwork and shelves crowded with old books, to the gutted and decaying wooden structures strewn with trash and covered in cobwebs. See them before they disappear! The Survivor Mitzvah Project Holocaust Educational Archive contains the only existing recorded first person testimony of thousands of survivors, rescuers and eyewitnesses, as well as riveting footage of rapidly deteriorating synagogues, cemeteries, killings fields, and other remnants of Jewish life and culture across 9 countries in Eastern Europe. Rich in history and Holocaust testimony, the Archive contributes to a meaningful modern day dialogue on justice, tolerance for differences, and an appreciation of human commonality, while standing as an important reminder to confront evil wherever it takes hold.
