- “My Shtetl: The Voice of Jewish Settlements” Carola Murray-Seegert wrote in the daily digest about an excellent resource site on this Belorussian website that she just found. It contains oral histories, family memories, photos and historic texts from the Minsk, Vitebsk and Mogilev regions of Belarus (Grodno, Brest and Gomel regions are still under construction). The site is available in both Russian and English versions, but there’s a problem: you must search both versions, since shtetls with only Russian texts do not show up on the English version. Clicking on a region on the initial map brings you to a regional map; blue-starred shtetls have individual pages. But again, be sure to check both the English and the Russian versions of the map, as there are far more shtetls on the Russian map than the English one, and the English town pages do not contain Russian documents. The My Shtetl site is sponsored by the International Center of Culture ‘Israel-Belarus’ and the Jewish Cultural Center Mishpoha in Vitebsk, and is supported by the Conference on Jewish Material Claims against Germany.
