Our Senior Surveyor, Ian Galevskii, visited 40 sites in total, and we are currently processing and analysing the collected data.
Bulgaria is the first country completed within our wider project documenting Jewish cemeteries across the Balkans and the Baltic region: Latvia, Estonia, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Slovenia. Survey work in those countries is underway.
This project is made possible thanks to the generous support of the U.S. Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad.
We are also sincerely grateful to our local coordinator, Ekaterina Karaseva, for her invaluable support throughout the project.
