- A map of the Jewish heritage objects located in the borderland of Poland, Belarus, and Ukraine
- A USB card with the Shtetl Routes app containing a pdf version of the guidebook as well as 3D digital models of historical towns and synagogues from the borderland of Poland, Belarus, and Ukraine

The guidebook Shtetl Routes. Travels Through the Forgotten Continent is one of the elements of the project titled “Shtetl Routes. Vestiges of Jewish cultural heritage in cross-border tourism”. In the guidebook, we tell the stories of 62 towns located in the borderland of Poland, Belarus, and Ukraine and the stories of the Jewish communities inhabiting these towns.

Our intention was to evoke the tales of Jewish culture, which used to be so important to the towns and boroughs of the borderland, by referring to the surviving objects of cultural heritage, such as synagogues, prayer houses, cemeteries, schools, cinemas, printing houses, factories, and sometimes ordinary houses. This is why the book abounds in quotations, references to memories, stories from literature, and Memorial Books.
We also try to show how these towns attempt to draw on their Jewish heritage today, both where Jews still live and where there are no Jews anymore.
Feel invited to travel through the Forgotten Continent – to travel the shtetl routes of the borderland of Poland, Ukraine, and Belarus.
