History, in the Jewish Communities, is not written only with dates, events, and archival records, but also with personal testimonies.

Personal memories, family stories, the narratives passed down from generation to generation compose an axis of memory that connects the past with the present. Testimonies which, when collected and preserved, acquire collective significance.

They illuminate aspects of history that are often not recorded—customs, values, ways of life; a valuable cultural asset for understanding the past, but also for shaping collective memory and identity.
