Czech Republic: Tour the former Jewish Quarter of Trebic
Ruth Gruber writes about the Jewish sites in Trebic and links to a recent radio story that tours the former Jewish quarter. Trebic was one of the Czech success stories of the 1990s, Interest in the historic town including its Jewish sites transcended the strictly Jeiwsh audience - in a sense Trebic's "Ghetto" (much like the Jewish quarter in Prague) broke out of the Jewish tourism "Ghetto," that so many Jewish find thems trapped in - unrelated to broad treams of tourist interest and revenue.
New EU funding - soon to be announced in detail - is intended to remedy this situation at several other important Jewish centers in the Czech Republic. More on this important development when it is officially announced (later this summer?).
