Forum for Dialogue Network activist Katarzyna Sudaj together with the ATUT Foundation produced the film “Sara” as a part of the project we helped co-fund via our Grants and Scholarship competitions. The film, based on the novel “Shadow of the Clock” by another member of our Network Jolanta Sroczynska-Pietz, captures the story of a friendship between Sara and Ida, two girls, one Jewish and one not, and is set in the late 19th century in Trzemeszno. “Sara” inspired great interest locally, and is now available online to the general public (with auto-generated subtitles). We encourage you to give it a try!

In 2024, the grants and scholarships program is financed thanks to the generosity of Friends of the Forum, LEDOR WADOR Foundation, United States Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad, and individual donors and institutions from Poland and abroad supporting Forum for Dialogue. Scholarships for personal development are possible thanks to The David and Anna Dlugie Kliger Scholarship Fund.
