TKF is collaborating with other organizations, groups and individuals to share knowledge about history, past and present life of Jewish communities in former USSR territories. We want to celebrate ancestors’ life and to commemorate the names of the victims of pogroms, the Holocaust, and other atrocities. Pain and suffering of million of Jewish families should be acknowledged by future generations. "We live – in the mundanity we live,
And memories we’re wrapping in the cape – The sound of lamenting to escape… We dream of the lament, it beckons – beckons in the dream…" From «Krasnostav Requiem» by Ilya Shifrin, English Translation by Irina Barskova |
