Jewish Heritage Travel: Lack of Funding Closes Museum Housing Sarajevo Haggadah

Jewish Heritage Travel: Lack of Funding Closes Museum Housing Sarajevo Haggadah
When culture is cut in one area, it will soon affect others.  In this case, the "other" is the Sarajevo Film Festival and its Talent Campus; both symbols of the brave fight and spiritual resistance put up by the Bosnians in the face of the Serbian siege and bombardments which took place from 1992 to 1997 (?) or thereabouts.  The spiritual resistance which surpassed the armed warfare was fed by the deeply rooted multi-cultural environment that made Sarajevo able to survive.  No culture...no future.  Save Sarajevo!
