Jewish Cultural Reconstruction

Jewish Cultural Reconstruction (JCR) was a movement established after World War II to recover, preserve, and restore Jewish cultural artifacts, libraries, and religious objects looted or displaced by the Nazis. It aimed to reclaim the cultural heritage of Jewish communities affected by the Holocaust, often working with international organizations and local institutions. JCR played a key role in returning religious items, books, and artworks to their rightful communities or countries, helping to preserve Jewish identity and history amid widespread destruction.
