Whether by persecution or migration, too many once-thriving Jewish communities are gone. Hear about 2 geo-mapping projects resisting such erasures: @DiarnaProject geo-museum, & Mnemonics, which promotes the formation of inclusive memory culture in Ukraine. publichumanities.ubc.ca/even…

"Unprecedented"? Diarna pioneered this research beginning in 2008. Diarna's dataset, as your founder Michael Mail very well knows, is both more accurate & extensive, including the fruits of more than a decade of field research & hundreds of oral histories.

1/2 @JewishheritageF "made limited use of Diarna" in its "Final Report of the Jewish Cultural Heritage Initiative" w/@ASOResearch. We wish the use had been greater. Diarna has unrivaled documentation & current information on scores of sites in the MENA.

Diarna partnered w/@USCBS_org & provided the coordinates for Jewish historical sites in Iraq & Syria to @DeptofDefense in 2016. @JewishheritageF is again late to the game & alas only interested in undeserved publicity & fundraising. @ASOResearch @HebrewU xitter.cf/DiarnaProject/status/1…

Diarna プロジェクトから神戸のシナゴーグの写真を送って頂きました。
Thank you @DiarnaProject for sharing the beautiful photo of Ohel Shalom Synagogue in Kobe.
I understand that the history of Jewish people in Japan dates back to the early 20th or even late 19th century.
Thank you, @JewsandJapan! Diarna researcher Erin Okabe-Jawdat documented sites in Japan, including the Jewish Community of Kansai's Ohel Shalom Synagogue in Kobe.

Thousands of Jewish heritage sites in the Middle East outside of Israel can’t be physically protected. Jason Guberman discusses @DiarnaProject’s work to preserve "the virtual memory of them."

.@DiarnaProject is a Geo-Museum of North African & Middle Eastern Jewish Life, working to digitally preserve the remnants of Jewish history throughout the region.
I lost much of my North African family history, when my grandparents died, so this matters: diarna.org

In awe reading about the @DiarnaProject efforts to digitally recreate the history and heritage of these MENA Jewish sites.
The digital venture, called Diarna, takes you back to painstakingly revived synagogues and destinations once lost to history. ow.ly/NyRo30qPC6y
