Embark on a captivating live-stream journey through the rich Jewish heritage of Paris, spanning from the Middle Ages to the present day. Our live-stream tour begins on the historic city island, tracing the community’s path to the vibrant Marais district. Delve into the heart of “the Pletzl,” the Yiddish neighborhood that became home to Eastern European Jews fleeing late 19th-century pogroms. As we explore, we’ll confront the somber history of the Nazi occupation in 1940 and the tragic deportations of 1942, paying our respects at the Shoah Memorial. Our journey continues to the historic synagogue on Rue des Pavées, offering insight into centuries of religious life. Finally, we’ll conclude our tour on the bustling Rue des Rosiers, where you’ll discover the vibrant pulse of contemporary Jewish culture in Paris. Join us for this moving and insightful exploration of resilience, culture, and community in the City of Light. Co-presented with Wowzitude.
As part of a special initiative, our Virtual Walking Tours in October will be free of charge and open to all.
