Memory register · custodian, not owner
Minsk was home to one of the largest Jewish communities in Belarus, deeply rooted in Yiddish culture and very active in the labor movement as well as in Jewish political parties, from the Bund to Zionism. Under the Soviet regime, the city was a center of Jewish culture in the Yiddish language, with schools, a theater, and institutions. During the German occupation, the Minsk ghetto, established in 1941, was one of the largest on Soviet territory and saw organized resistance. The great majority of its inhabitants were exterminated between 1941 and 1943, and the community reconstituted itself only weakly after the war.
