This site is dedicated to the memory of the Jewish community of Bălţi who lost their lives in the Shoah. The site aims to offer a glimpse of what life was like in the shtetl in an area on the eastern fringes of Europe; which had all of the elements of a fully functioning, caring and progressive Kehilla within a Moldovan town.
