Museum Contributors

The creation of this museum was made possible through the dedication and collaboration of many individuals and institutions. From donating historical objects and family heirlooms to sharing personal stories, designing the museum spaces, curating content, and shaping the surrounding landscape, each contribution has played a vital role.

 

Together, these efforts help preserve the memory of the lost shtetl of Šeduva and the broader shtetl civilization for future generations.

​

Meet the contributors who helped bring this vision to life.
