The
mission of the Shtetl Foundation is to document and celebrate the rich
and vibrant Jewish History in Europe before its destruction during the
Holocaust with the building of a full-size replica of a typical East-European
Shtetl in Rishon Le-Zion, Israel. Construction is scheduled to begin
in 2003; The Shtetl Foundation, a 501 c not-for-profit organisation,
was founded by Prof. Yaffa Eliach in December of 1999. The Foundation's
headquarters are located in New York City.
