#MyParallelTraces, new campaign and virtual mailbox

Are there Jewish Heritage sites close to your heart and memory? What are they? And what do they mean to you? Send us a virtual post card and let us know

Travel may be difficult now; museums, exhibitions, and heritage sites are closed. But that doesn’t mean we can’t continue to rediscover and explore Jewish heritage throughout Europe – and #MyParallelTraces is an exciting, interactive platform to help do this Even though we can’t physically visit the places we hold dear, we can still engage with them – telling their stories and our own

It’s easy – and, we hope, fun. So, how can you participate? That's super easy!
Fill in this form, post your picture and add both a brief explanation of its historical context and a brief personal reflection on your own connection with that site.

The postcards with their reflections will be uploaded on the website as a growing gallery: an open and pluralistic approach to Jewish heritage that offers a more personal perspective. It will provide space to interpret and reinterpret the heritage, and to ask ourselves about the meaning of each site – not just in the past, but also in the present and future.

Parallel Traces is co-funded by the European Union within the framework of the Creative Europe programme.
