Ensuring that the memories and historical facts are never forgotten underlies this project. It also ties in with other projects of Heritage Dialogue. One of Adolf Hitler’s first steps instituted against Jews were the forbidding of religious practices such as circumcision, prayer and kosher slaughter.

Without a proper education on our heritage and religious traditions, misconceptions about our traditions can easily take root. With this project we aim to instruct, inform and educate various audiences through tailor made programs.

The last few years various voices have asked for the initiation ritual for Jewish males to be curtailed, restricted or banned altogether.  We are working on a wider project to inform people about the tradition of Jewish circumcision, it’s prevalence around the world, the health benefits as attested in various scientific research papers and the low risks associated with the procedure if carried out in a professional manner. There is often very little knowledge about circumcision in Europe which leads to calls against the procedure. Through education we can create  dialogue and respect between various communities.
