The Baltic Jews: A Sombre Tale Still Needing to be Told
Our learned guide, Jacob, will lead us from the flourishing presence of Jews in the Baltic states before the Holocaust, through to its tragic aftermath. We will explore Jewish life from Estonia’s capital city, Tallinn, to the former Klooga concentration camp; from the streets of the former ghetto in Riga, Latvia, to the nearby memorial of the Rumbula Forest 2-day massacre. With virtual stops in Vilnius, Lithuania and at various other Jewish Heritage sites, we are invited to remember the lost lives of the tens of thousands of Jews who once lived and thrived there
