AEPJ Participates in the Reopening of the Jewish Museum of Basel

On 30 November, AEPJ President François Moyse and Honorary President Claude Bloch were honoured to attend the reopening of the Jewish Museum of Basel in Switzerland.

Just a few days earlier, AEPJ was also represented at a preliminary event by Françoise Elkouby and Jean-Pierre Lambert from Strasbourg.

Housed in a listed building with remarkable wooden elements, the museum has undergone a significant transformation. Under the leadership of President Nadia Guth-Biasini and her talented team, the space has been redesigned into a modern, state-of-the-art institution equipped with innovative exhibition technologies.

During his remarks, the AEPJ President introduced the association and its 20 years of work, emphasising the importance of engaging citizens with Jewish heritage. He aligned with the museum director in underscoring that Jewish culture is not only a heritage of the Jewish community, but a shared European heritage that invites exploration by all.

We extend our warmest wishes for the continued success of the renewed Jewish Museum of Basel.
