Preparing for Passover in Ukraine’s last shtetl – Cnaan Liphshiz – JTA 21.03.17
Bershad is one of Europe’s last remaining shtetls. With a Jewish population of 50, it is a living testament to the Jewish community’s incredible survival story — one that has endured despite decades of communist repression, the Holocaust and the exodus of Russian-speaking Jews. Includes drone footage [3:55] and a fascinating video narrated by author.
