The web site jewish-heritage-europe.eu is a growing online resource that aggregates links, runs a regular newsfeed, publishes long articles and features many other Jewish heritage resources for 48 European countries. A project of the Rothschild Foundation (Hanadiv) Europe, JHE aims to facilitate communication and information exchange regarding projects, initiatives and other developments concerning Jewish heritage and Jewish heritage sites: restoration, funding, ongoing projects, best-practices, advisory services, tourism, genealogy, & more. It also aims to foster contacts among Jewish communities, private individuals or bodies, foundations, state and civic organizations, monuments protection authorities and other stakeholders and interested parties. As JHE’s coordinator, I will give a detailed tour of the site and introduce some of the new interactive and other features we will be launching this year. I will show how people can use the site and become part of the JHE community by sharing info, pictures, reports and advice.
