What is Jewish Atlas?
We’re travelers and researchers with a deep love for Jewish history. We listen to people’s memories, mark places that matter, and partner with local communities to keep these stories alive. Jewish Atlas is a bridge between memory and maps—personal, warm, and open to everyone.
"Walking where history lives"
Jewish Atlas began on small side streets and in quiet cemeteries—places where a name on a stone or the outline of a synagogue wall can open an entire world. We met caretakers, teachers, and neighbors who protect memory with simple acts: a cleared path, a mended gate, a story told again.
We walk, listen, photograph, and document—with care and curiosity. Our work is field-first, focused on dignity and accuracy. We spend time with local communities, record stories, and verify every location. This project gathers those acts of memory so they will not fade.
Jewish Atlas is independent and people-powered: our aim is simple—help you connect with your heritage and make sure the places that tell our story are not forgotten. Every pin on the map is a voice saying: "We were here—and still are."
