| | Euro-Asian Jewish Congress - «JEWS OF EURO-ASIA» |
 | | In February 1937 in Birobijan, the center of created then Jewish Autonomous Region, an All-Soviet conference dedicated to the problems of development of the Yiddish language was to take place. |
 | | However, in an atmosphere of the generating mass political repression the conference was postponed, and later cancelled altogether. |
 | | Unlike the 1937 Birobijan Conference that never took place, this conference, without a doubt, has already contributed to stirring up activity of the town cultural institutions, first of all, a museum, a regional archive, a library, and, naturally, the community itself. |
