The outside still looks modest, in proportion and perfectly fitting. But I am so pleased that the 19th-century interior was renovated for the museum. Nobody would have seen the interior since the war and it would have been easy to place any bit of modernism in.

I am also pleased that an Australian artist has placed his paintings there. After 1946, Melbourne's Jewish community had

I miss him terribly.

It is very interesting to me that "the Jewish Cemetery was set up on areas of land the medieval Oxford Jews purchased shortly after 1177, which were in fact water meadows by the Cherwell river. The land is now owned by Magdalen College and the Botanic Gardens."

Although land-use in Oxford may well have changed a great deal since then, it was probably attractive and not

I love George Grosz's works and am full of admiration for a non-Jewish artist who was prepared to risk his own career and life with his anti-Nazi stance. Of all his paintings based on city life, the most powerful were from WW1 and the years just after the war.

Dear Mr Gruber,
More than 3 years have now passed since the inauguration of the Monument to the Holocaust in Bucharest and I would dearly like to contact you about it.

Please see my blogpost on it written yesterday here: http://sarahinromania.canalblog.com/archives/2013/01/27/26260366.html

Could you please let me know how I can contact you?

Best wishes,

Thanks for inquiring into the Jewish heritage of Azerbaijani capital, Baku. But I would like to add some points. While saying that many synagogues of Baku have been destroyed, it would be preferable to give an explanation since such a remark can lead people astray prompting them to reckon that the synagogues have been demolished by the locals of the city, Azerbaijanis. But indeed, many religious

These monuments were always important for the bereaved families and communities. But they would have become symbolically even more important in 1939 when history was rewritten about Jewish soldiers in WW1. Those boys' enormous sacrifice for their beloved German fatherland was airbrushed away.

Thank you for writing about, participating in, and posting photographs of the Radom Jewish Cemetery Memorial Project. My relatives are from Radom, and I'm just starting to piece together their stories. It's very meaningful to me to see these pictures and to read about the care that has gone into cemetery restoration. Please visit my blog yomhashoahpictureproject.com to read a mention of

In Cortland's Temple Brith Shalom, what would the multi-purpose space have been used for? Wedding receptions?

It looks too cavernous to be used for children's classrooms or adults' lectures.

Please keep up the good work . My hometown of Buffalo needs a national marketing campaign making people aware that we are not doing our best to preserve our incredible past like the Europeans engage in. We need a national adopt a building campaign. Buffalo is a living museum.

Sad to report to you Samuel that the Jewish Maternity Home in Whitechapel, Tower Hamlets, London is now being demolished by Peabody Trust, the destruction going ahead on Friday, 13 January 2012. This Home was the only Jewish Maternity Home in the United Kingdom and the original 1911 building by Jewish architect John Myers (1888-1915) was the first building to be bulldozed. John Myers has also

How many Jewish citizens lived in the big cities and in the smaller cities? Did any of them survive the war? If so, did the survivors emigrate?

Some of the ruins look as if they were huge buildings, so the community must have been large and relatively important.

As per Jewish Heritage Travel, many of the stones were used to construct a huge staircase leading up to the Trade Union headquarters. Some of these were used to create the monument (hence the shape of the stones, cut for stairs)

Thank you for your post on the former Jewish Maternity Home on Underwood Road, Whitechapel, London, also known affectionately as Mother Levy's. The good news is that the Jewish Maternity Home (later Hospital) - the only Jewish Maternity Home in the United Kingdom - is not demolished. The developer, Peabody (what would the American philanthropist George Peabody think?) started demolition of
