We have recently completed the Polish/Jewish Exchange Program visit to the U.S. organized in cooperation with the AJC. Between March 31-April 7 the Polish delegation visited Washington, D.C., Boston, and New York. The intense program included meetings with representatives of the AJC and David Harris, Chief Executive Officer of the AJC, a dinner with prof. Susannah Heschel, the Eli Black Professor of Jewish Studies at Dartmouth College, and a meeting with Izzy Arbeiter, a Holocaust Survivor.

The participants also had a special tour of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum preceded by a meeting with Senior Curator Jacek Nowakowski, and a guided tour of NYC Chassidic communities. The Polish delegation has also benefited from opportunities for less formal conversations during home hospitality evenings. Their stay ended with a special meeting with our Friends of the Forum in New York.
