The Memory Map of the Jewish East End is a new digital resource and interactive website that allows users to remotely explore the social and cultural history of the Jewish East End. The project is a collaboration between artist and writer Rachel Lichtenstein and three of The Bartlett’s research units: The Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis, The Space Syntax Laboratory and The Survey of London. Covering more than 70 significant sites, the Memory Map aims to become a lasting document of the history and memory traces of this vibrant Jewish community. Users are able to listen to the stories, memories and voices of residents from Rachel Lichtenstein’s substantial archive of audio interviews of this rapidly vanishing landscape, testimony from the collection of Sandys Row Synagogue, the oldest Ashkenazi Synagogue in London, and collaborative research from the Memory Map team, including essays written by the Survey of London. http://www.jewisheastendmemorymap.org/
