Abstract
This chapter focuses on how the memory of Jews in Turkey is being constructed through the refurbishing of synagogues in areas of Turkey where Jews no longer exist. Some of these projects are carried out by agencies of the central state, others by local municipalities. More recently, the memory of Jews is also being constructed through historical surveys of the Jewish community, which are featured on municipal webpages creating virtual sites of memory. Initiatives aimed at bringing the Jewish past alive have also been launched by independent individuals such as architects and artists, contributing to a growing, if contested and fragmented sphere of Jewish memory in Turkey.
