France - 12.99
|
In January 26 - 28, the International Conference on Jewish Heritage
of Europe took place in Paris. This conference, which dealt for
the first time with the issue of preservation of Jewish monuments in
Europe, followed the "Future of Jewish Monuments" conference held in
New York in 1990, organized by the World Monuments Fund. The event in
Paris was organized by the French Ministry of Culture, the Museum of
Art and History of Judaism in Paris, the Sefardi Museum of Toledo, the
Jewish Museum of Greece, the Warsaw Jewish Historic Institute, and the
Program for Jewish Culture in Bologna. The presentations focused on
the conservation, documentation and reutilization of synagogues, cemeteries
and mikveh, undertaken successfully in Poland, Hungary, France, Italy,
the Czech Republic, and other countries of Europe. In addition, an update
of the conservation efforts of the synagogues of Hania and Veroia in
Greece were presented in detail. |
