The Jewish relationship to Poland is still colored by memories of the Holocaust and the treatment of Jews after the war. But today, Jewish life in Poland is thriving, both because of efforts made by the Republic of Poland’s government and by private organizations. Martin Kabat recently participated in a “Jewish Study Tour” of Poland, sponsored by the Polish Embassy in DC, that included visits and interviews with leading persons and institutions working on issues related to Jewish life and culture in the republic. His presentation will address history, antisemitism, violence, Polish government initiatives, ancestry, and citizenship. Come learn about this revival and change of attitude toward Jews in Poland today. A panel of other participants in the tour will present fascinating information and answer your questions.
