Am brofiad! 1st time inside former Merthyr Synagogue after 1st visiting the outside of the building almost 15 years ago. Never did I think back then the building would be saved with plans to become a Welsh Jewish Heritage Centre! Thanks Foundation for Jewish Heritage for a fantastic open day!
Our resources designed for the new #CurriculumforWales include stories of refugee artists in Wales. Josef Herman, originally from Poland, lived in Ystradgynlais from 1944-55 and won a medal for Services to Welsh Art at the 1962 National Eisteddfod
