White Places of Jewish Moravia and Slovakia
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.
