The Jewish Museum and Tolerance Center will participate in the Roads of Victory program dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the Victory of our country in the Great Patriotic War. The project is organized with the support of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the Federal Tourism Agency, the Moscow Region Government and the Russian Military Historical Society.
It is intended to carry out free of charge excursions for scholars, orphaned children, cadets, and members of military and patriotic clubs.
The excursion of the Jewish Museum is mainly dedicated to the war period of the Soviet Union and the life of the Jews during that period. It is about the stories of people who fought up the lines and worked in the rear, of those who lived in the occupational territories of the USSR. It is also a story about the famous Jews of the Soviet Union such legends as iconic speaker Jury Levitan, who announced over the radio about the end of the War, or photographer Eugene Chaldey who made the iconic photo the Victory Banner over the Reichstag.
Together with the Jewish Museum and Tolerance Center 21 museums of Moscow and the Moscow region will participate in the Project. The Roads of Victory is the possibility to look at the past from the perspective of our days and to trace how the memory of war and events of the 20th century are featured in different exhibition areas.
