There Exists a Fence
A Book by Aimee K. Fogg
Cover of "There Exists a Fence"
In 2007, Aimee Fogg accompanied a group of Dartmouth students to Jurbarkas, Lithuania, to put up a new fence in the Jewish
Cemetery of the town, known in Yiddish as ÒYurburg.Ó This trip was part of the ÒProject
PreservationÓ sponsored by Dartmouth College, under Rabbi Edward Boraz of the Dartmouth College Hillel. ÒProject
PreservationÓ takes about 20 students, both Jewish and non-Jewish to Eastern
Europe every summer to resurrect and build new fences around Jewish cemeteries in
communities whose Jewish residents were murdered in World War II and there are
no longer any Jews in these towns.

The experience was so
significant to Aimee that she created the book ÒThere Exists a FenceÓ which
documents the cemetery and the project in pictures and quotations by famous
people.
