This past Sunday the Forum concluded another visit of Jewish leaders from United States and Australia to Poland. During an intense weekly program participants of our trip met with representatives of academia, politics, culture and Polish Jewish community. They discussed topics of Polish-Jewish relations and today’s Poland during meetings with Prof. Edmund Wnuk-Lipinski, Honorary Rector of Collegium Civitas, Zbigniew Nosowski, Editor-in-chief of the “Więź” monthly, Nadav Eshcar, Deputy Chief of Mission of Israeli Embassy and other field specialists. The program included also sightseeing of Warsaw and Krakow as well as a study visit to the former concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz – Birkenau.

One of the most memorable experiences was the visit to a School of Dialogue in Sandomierz. During their meeting with local high school students our guests discussed their participation in School of Dialogue workshops and were guided by them around the town’s Jewish sites.
