hrough its projected products and services, REDISCOVER highlights the remarkable legacy of the Jewish community, reflecting the invaluable contribution of the Jews for placing Galați on the cultural and touristic map of Romania. COVID-19 pandemic amplified the challenges these initiatives have to bear, since tourism is one of the most affected sectors due to the state’s restrictions.
However, the Municipality of Galați, joined by external experts, historians of the RIRNM and other stakeholders readjusted its planned activities by preparing an e-Festival that will mirror the Jewish community life and history on the Danube’s shore. This virtual event will bring to the fore all the valuable potential tourism products identified so far. The festival will be hosted on a bilingual website (RO/EN) expected to be released in January 2021.
It will include virtual guided tours and maps, a short e-cookbook with local Jewish recipes, an exhibition of old photos and traditional objects as traces of the former life of the local Jewish community. The website will also integrate oral history samples with recorded interviews with the members of the community, as well as recorded and uploaded artistic performances.
Similar initiatives of the partner cities which highlight the local Jewish past will be deployed and connected as a tribute to a rich cultural heritage and a label of REDISCOVER. More information will follow soon.
