What an evening! Yesterday, we celebrated Forum’s 25th Anniversary together with the participants of the first study visit to Poland since the pandemic hiatus, who are our longtime friends and donors. More than 150 people gathered at the Polish Theatre in Warsaw to join us for this event, including our international supporters and allies, as well as Polish friends and donors, current and former staff members, activists, and members of the Forum for Dialogue Network.

Although they couldn’t join us in person in Warsaw, Warsaw-born Holocaust Survivor and our mentor George Elbaum and his wife Mimi Jensen prepared a video message to share with the audience gathered at the Polish Theater.

Reflecting on the story of his involvement with the Forum and its programs, George emphasized the importance of dissolving barriers of ignorance and introducing common interest and communality between today’s audiences and the past.

Thank you to all who came and made this night as well as the past 25 years possible! This community has made Forum what it is today and what it will be in the future.
