Join us as we walk through Tallinn's Old Town and draw parallels between Estonian and Jewish history, discuss Jewish heritage in Tallinn (as well as in Estonia and the region in general) from the medieval period up until the modern day. We will point out the buildings where prominent Jews lived, already during the middle ages, and what life was like for different peoples in Tallinn. Estonia's University of Tartu was the first university in Czarist Russia to allow Jewish students attendance; in 1927 during its first independence period, Estonia was the first country in Europe to grant its Jewish citizens full cultural autonomy; Estonia was one of the few East European nations in the 1920s and 1930s where anti-Semitic newspapers and magazines did not find any success. Jews often made a name for themselves on Tallinn, whether as bakers, craftsmen, teachers, lecturers, politicians, actors or politicians, they have left a large mark on Estonian history.

Tallinn and Estonia have long been at the meeting point of two very different worlds. Since the viking age and through the medieval era this location has served as a vital trade route between east and west. For centuries it was seen by many as the very edge of civilisation. From German crusaders to Russian czars and communist occupation, Estonia has never forgotten its culture, language or identity. Come and find out what makes this country unique. How a once thriving center of trade fell by the wayside; how a land held by foreigners for centuries won its War of Independence; and how a small occupied nation defied the Soviet Union to not only restore its own freedom and destiny but also become the Silicon Valley of Europe. This is the story of Estonia.
