The third annual White Places conference brings back to common memory the stories of people, places and communities from Moravian and Slovak Jewish history. As preserved archival documents and oral sources show, the border between Moravia and Slovakia was never a sharp dividing line - on the contrary, it was a space of strong family, commercial and religious ties. The programme will offer ten presentations touching on the migration of Moravian families to Slovakia and Slovaks to Moravia, the movement of rabbis between the two countries, the history of border communities and the stories of those hidden during the Holocaust. Special attention will also be paid to the post-war reconstruction of synagogues and emerging memory initiatives. The keynote lecture on the restoration of the Trenčín synagogue will be given by Maroš Borský.
