Before the Second World War, a small but active community operated in Valga. The war, the Holocaust and the Soviet regime destroyed this community. Generations grew up in the city who have no knowledge or historical memory of Jews, their faith and customs. The Valga Museum organizes an exhibition about Judaism and Jewish customs in cooperation with the Estonian Jewish Museum and with the support of the Estonian state. A lecture on Judaism and Jewish customs will be held at the opening of the exhibition, followed by a kosher cooking workshop. The Days of European Jewish Culture will be organized in Valga for the first time.

For the New Jewish Year 5784 and as part of the European Day of Jewish Culture, the exhibition "Memory", created by the National Library of Israel, was hung on the fence of the Sofia Synagogue. This exhibition is based on archival materials, memoirs, press clippings, historical photographs, municipal registers, postcards and other memorabilia of European Jewish communities, with each poster providing a window into the history of a given community.
We suggest you go for a walk until the end of October and take a look. Which documents keep your memory alive?

Ville cosmopolite, comme d’autres grands ports du Levant, Salonique – la Thessalonique grecque sous l’Empire ottoman – fut longtemps une cite juive ou les commerçants, toutes confessions confondues, fermaient le samedi et durant les fêtes juives. Les 150 œuvres de l’exposition du mahJ restituent l’histoire de Salonique de la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle à la fin de la Première Guerre mondiale.
Le don de près de 400 photographies et documents au mahJ par Pierre de Gigord, grand collectionneur dévoué à l’histoire de l’Empire ottoman, à l’œil avisé et à l’admirable générosité, constituent un enrichissement majeur pour le mahJ, dont la collection est désormais une référence sur la « Jérusalem des Balkans ». Les tirages albuminés du premier photographe local, Paul Zepdji, les négatifs sur plaques de verre inédits d’Ali Eniss, drogman au consulat d’Allemagne, amateur passionné auteur d’une vivante chronique photographique de la ville, font revivre un monde disparu.

Pomniki oporu to największa i jak dotąd najbardziej zróżnicowana prezentacja sztuki o powstaniu w getcie warszawskim rozpięta między wojną a początkami odwilży (1943–1956). Wybrane przez kuratorów rzeźby, pomniki, plakaty, grafiki i zdjęcia przybliżają nie tylko wielowymiarowość tematu oraz jego ogromne znaczenie towarzyszące całym pokoleniom, ale także trudności i emocje bliskie ich twórcom.
Na wystawie prezentowany jest obszerny wybór prac plastycznych, również tych do tej pory nieznanych, między innymi wielkoformatowe socrealistyczne obrazy olejne, projekty plakatów rocznicowych z lat 1945-1948, a także rysunki, fotografie, rzeźby i dzieła metaloplastyczne z epoki.
