A collection of memoirs by survivors of the Siege of Leningrad has been published in Hebrew translation

A collection of memoirs, titled "Pages of the Blockade Memory", has been published in Israel. It features the recollections of individuals who spent their childhood years in besieged Leningrad, as well as those who contributed their utmost efforts to help the city withstand the enemy.

The original Russian edition of this unique collection is available on the EAJC Library website at https://bit.ly/blokadniki

As part of a dedicated program aimed at preserving the historical memory of the Jewish people, the Euro-Asian Jewish Congress initiated the translation and publication of this unique compilation in Hebrew. The books are scheduled to be distributed to leading libraries, universities, and schools across Israel.

"We are deeply grateful to Emilia Larina, Avraham Grinzaid, and all the participants of this project for finding the strength to share their personal recollections of one of the darkest chapters of World War II. We also extend our gratitude to businessman and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Jewish Museum and Tolerance Center, Viktor Vekselberg, for supporting this program. Eyewitness accounts are invaluable for preserving the living history of the Siege of Leningrad," stated EAJC President Dr. Mikhail Mirilashvili.
