International Catacomb Society
The International Catacomb Society was founded in 1980 by Estelle
Shohet Brettman (1925-1991). The society is dedicated to the
preservation and documentation of the Jewish catacombs and other rare
vestiges of history that illustrate the common influences on Jewish,
Christian, and pagan iconography and funerary practices during the time
of the Roman Empire. The society also strives to increase knowledge
about the interconnections between Judaism, Christianity, and the
surrounding ancient world by issuing grants, sponsoring lectures, and
disseminating information and publications.
