The European Routes of Jewish Heritage

Six precious Slovak Jewish heritage sites have been included into the European Routes of Jewish Heritage:

• The Heydukova Street Synagogue and the Jewish Community Museum, Bratislava
• The Chatam Sofer Memorial, Bratislava
• The Zsigray Mansion (Museum of Jewish Culture), Bratislava
• Status Quo Synagogue, Trnava
• The Jewish Communal Compound, Kosice
• The Jewish Communal Compound, Presov

The European Routes of Jewish Heritage have been promoted by an alliance of several Jewish and non-Jewish organisations, including tourist agencies as well as volunteer organisations. It is a unique example of putting together experiences from many walks of life for a common goal shared by all: the preservation and the promotion of Jewish heritage as a European heritage. The European Routes of Jewish Heritage focuses on the pedagogic aspects of discovering Europe's rich heritage and will particularly target young people.
