Tracing the Footsteps of Jewish Prague: A Journey Through Centuries of Resilience

Thursday, May 2 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am

Join us on a compelling virtual journey through the Jewish history of Bohemia, starting from the 10th century. We’ll uncover the stories behind the WWII Stolpersteine (“stumbling stones”) and the annexation of Czechoslovakia, delve into the narratives of the Shoah and the Terezín Concentration Camp, celebrate the heroism of Nicholas Winton, who rescued 669 children, and visit one of the oldest synagogues in Europe. Our journey will conclude with insights into the life of former US ambassador Norman Eisen and the history of Petschka Palace, now a U.S. diplomatic residence in Prague.
