Introduction

Narrated by Edward Serotta

Moldova became an independent country when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, Well more than 65,000 Jews were registered then and over the next two decades, the overwhelming majority emigrated to Israel. The community stands at less than 5,000 today but provides its members with kindergartens, youth clubs, sports teams and care for seniors.

Centropa conducted two dozen interviews in Moldova and we have chosen two of those stories for this podcast season.
