The Library of
Rescued Memories

a digital bridge back
to a world destroyed

Although we cannot visit - physically - Central Europe's pre-Holocaust Jewish communities, that world lives on in the stories and snapshots of those we've interviewed. Click here to see how we are turning these stories into short films that take us back into the homes, synagogues and streets of pre-war Central Europe.
