Jewish Heritage in East European Philately after World War II

• In Event: Methods in Jewish Studies

Abstract

In this talk, I will address a variety of topics related to Jewish heritage in European philately after World War II. On the postal stamps of European countries of that time, synagogues, Jewish museums, Holocaust memorials, etc. are reflected. I will not only demonstrate philatelic items, but also seek to explain the issue of the relevant stamps in the context of the socio-political development of a particular country and the history of the local Jewish community. Special regards in my talk will go to the countries of Eastern Europe (in particular, Ukraine) and its philately.
