Jews were an integral part of the country house landscape. My article, now published in Jewish Social Studies @iupress.bsky.social, is the first survey of Dutch Jewish country houses in the modern period 🏡🏰 Very happy to see it in print! An online version can be found here: doi.org/10.2979/jss.....

Zondagmiddag 26 oktober spreek ik in de mooie synagoge van #Winterswijk over dilemma’s rond Joods erfgoed van 1945 tot nu. Iedereen welkom, meer informatie is hier te vinden: synagogewinterswijk.nl/event/wat-is...

Testimonies to the Jewish community of #Groenlo or Grolle: the building that housed the synagogue between 1822 and 1950 and the nineteenth-century cemetery just outside the city walls. In 2004, fifteen lead amulets from the seventeenth century were excavated just nearby.

The New Synagogue at the Gerard Noodtstraat in #Nijmegen, an Orientalist design (with Torah scroll shaped centre), was consecrated in 1913. During WWII, the building was used as a storage space by the Nazis. Not long after, it became a church, and thereafter a museum. Since 2023, it houses a gym.

For survivors of the Shoah in 1945 Amsterdam, broadsides or single-sheet prints had an important disseminating function. In my article, published in Zutot @degruyterbrill.bsky.social, I demonstrate the significance of looking at this type of source for the post-war period: brill.com/view/journal....

The synagogue at the Turfkade in historic town #Brielle near Rotterdam served as a warehouse for a long time after WWII. It was restored in 2004-2005 by the Stichting Behoud Synagoge Brielle and now is a local cultural centre.

This is the beautifully located Jewish cemetery of #Diepenheim in Twente, where a small community thrived in the mid-nineteenth century. The last burial here took place in 1939. Several of the 18 remaining matzevot are heavily overgrown.

The tiny medieval town of #Bronkhorst near Zutphen is home to a small Jewish cemetery, established in 1811. It once was the burial place for Jews from Bronkhorst, Steenderen, and Brummen on the other side of the river IJssel. Less than twenty matzevot remain today. It is a monument since the 1960s.

Jewish heritage in the small town of #Lochem, Achterhoek: the synagogue at the Westwal (established 1865) with its original iron ceiling, now a memory site and cultural centre, and the cemetery at the Zutphenseweg, acquired by the community in 1829.

In een nieuw seizoen van de podcastserie ‘De Joodse Stad,’ gemaakt door Julia van der Krieke en Caspar Stalenhoef, mocht ik in de aflevering van deze week iets vertellen over de naoorlogse Rapenburgerstraat: open.spotify.com/episode/66hX....

Former and recreated ‘Jewish streets’ in Poland: traces in the cityscapes of #Poznań and #Warsaw and the 1918-1939 gallery in museum POLIN.

The Jewish cemetery at Brodno, #Warsaw, was established in 1780. In the nineteenth century, it became the burial ground for the poor. Brodno suffered from severe damage and deterioration during and after WWII. A monument since 2009, it is now looked after by the Jewish community.

Hoe kunnen we plekken die verbonden zijn met collectief trauma zichtbaar, bespreekbaar en inclusiever maken? Een groot consortium onder leiding van Jan Kolen (@unileiden.bsky.social) en UvA-archeoloog Hayley Mickleburgh (@hlmickleburgh.bsky.social) gaat dat onderzoeken. www.uva.nl/shared-conte...

Nożyk Synagogue, #Warsaw, is one of a few of the over 400 pre-war prayer houses in the city that survived WWII. During the war, it served as stables and as ghetto synagogue. After, it was used by the Jewish community until 1968, and again from the 1980s after political change and a major renovation.

The Jewish cemetery at Okopowa Street, #Warsaw, was established in 1806. With 85,000 tombstones, it is one of the largest in Europe, with matzevot as far as the eye can see. After it fell into disrepair in the post-WWII period, it is now looked after by the Jewish community.
