In Nova Gorica and Gorizia, two monuments bear witness to a centuries-old Jewish presence: the synagogue in Gorizia and the Jewish cemetery in Rožna Dolina, divided by the border between two countries after World War II. Through the Little Jerusalem project, we aim to symbolically and conceptually reconnect these two sites of memory, which reflect the religious and cultural diversity of our region's history.
Through events such as guided tours, literary meetings, and film evenings, the project will highlight the once-thriving Jewish community in this area, which gave rise to many significant figures who left an indelible mark on the region.
Key individuals:
- Lorenzo Drascek,
- Renato Podbersič,
- Andrea Morpurgo.
