Daumana Street Synagogue campaign
In 1907, a Minsk distillery built a workshop prayer room so Jewish workers could observe the Sabbath. Over the next century, the building transformed into a factory, cooperative, and Soviet combine. Remarkably, it survived the devastation of the Holocaust and decades of Soviet religious bans.
In 1994, as Jewish life re-emerged from silence, this enduring structure was formally returned to the Minsk Jewish community, having never stopped serving them.
the Nesvizh memorial appeal
For over 350 years, the town of Nesvizh was a thriving center of Jewish culture and prosperity. However, the Nazi occupation in 1941 shattered this vibrant community. Forced into a ghetto, they faced immense tragedy, including the mass execution of 1,500 Jews at Alba Park.
Despite the terror, their spirit remained unbroken. In July 1942, an underground resistance group launched an armed uprising during the ghetto’s liquidation. Although this historic community was erased, their defiance stands as a powerful testament to human resilience.
