Ireneusz Socha, an activist from our network working in Dębica, has been organizing Jewish Community Remembrance Days since 2016. This year, the ceremony honoring the memory of the victims of Dębica ghetto was followed by a concert by Yaron Klein Trio. Yaron Klein, Israeli violinist living in the U.S., is a grandson of Miriam Grünspan from Dębica. His trio’s amazing performance prompted a standing ovation from nearly 200 guests from Dębica, Poland, and abroad gathered at the local culture center.
