Debra Brunner, born and raised in the UK is the granddaughter of Yiddish speaking Polish immigrants and the daughter of Yiddish singer Hilda Bronstein. Debra has lived in the USA and has travelled extensively through Belarus. She has been working in the field of Jewish community development and Jewish cultural heritage in Belarus for over 13 years. She is a passionate advocate for Jewish community, history, heritage and identity. She is the founder of the Polotsk Jewish Cultural Educational Foundation in Belarus and the Jewish Tapestry Project in the USA. Debra has worked tirelessly to grow The Together Plan in order to give agency to Jewish people coming out of a traumatic past, to empower them and give them skills and self-belief to rebuild and revive. It is Debra's mantra that together we can make a real and positive difference for a better, stronger and more cohesive Jewish landscape in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union.
