Eastern Border: Emil Majuk

Emil Majuk: The "Stetl Route" will include about 20 towns in each of the countries on both sides of the EU's eastern border. Historians from all three countries are gathering material for the 450,000-euro $610,000 project, which is largely funded by the European Union, its leader said Friday, according to CTV. "These are really fantastic little towns, with old architecture and old, multicultural character with their synagogues and Catholic and Orthodox churches," Majuk said and WARSAW, Poland -- Historians are preparing a virtual and real-life tourist route leading through about 60 old Jewish towns along Poland's border with Belarus and Ukraine. Emil Majuk of the Brama Grodzka history centre in Lublin, in eastern Poland, told The Associated Press the Internet site will offer descriptions, histories and anecdotes about the towns that were largely Jewish before World War II. Fifteen of them will be shown in 3-D models. On-the-ground sightseeing guides and guidebooks will be available starting in late 2015. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
