Novogrudok museum guards memory of ghetto escape

Novogrudok museum guards memory of ghetto escape
The Museum of Jewish Resistance in Novogrudok opened its doors in 2007. Its establishment is linked to a wealthy man from England, Jack Kagan. He arrived with a specific purpose, which was to restore the memory of those who endured the horrors of the Holocaust and to erect monuments at the sites of mass shootings of Jews in Novogrudok and Novogrudok District. Back in 1943, he was one of those who succeeded in fleeing the local ghetto by night, during what became the largest mass tunnel escape in occupied Europe. He survived as the only member of his family.
