At an intersection of global and local activism, Łukasz Połomski and Edyta Danielska, activists of the Shtetl of Tsanz and members of our network, hosted Douglas Emhoff, the husband of Vice-President Kamala Harris, during his visit in Gorlice. They showed him, and a delegation from U.S. Consulate General in Krakow, around the Jewish sites of the town of his ancestors.

The visit was part of Emhoff’s European tour promoting the efforts of the Biden-Harris administration in fighting antisemitism worldwide.
