The Association of Jewish Communities and Organizations (VAAD) Ukraine and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) in Ukraine (Lviv) have finished the preservation and restoration of the roof of the former community house on 12 Sholem Aleichem street. This house is to host the restored Lviv Jewish Museum and the conservation was necessary to preserve the building through the winter.
