A Virtual Tour of the Once Jewish Towns of Eastern Europe will explore selected shtetls from all ends of Eastern Europe – Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine, and Belarus, walking down their old streets, looking at the Jewish homes, and seeing how general shtetl features are reflected in these particular towns. There will be a discussion of the relations between Jews and Christians, as well as the political and social life in these shtetls and how shtetl life changed over the centuries. Old and new photographs and people’s memoirs will help provide some understanding of the life of our ancestors.
