Between July 18-25, Forum for Dialogue in partnership with Facing History and Ourselves and Polish Embassy in Washington organized the Facing History and Ourselves study trip to Poland. The program of the trip included meetings and discussions with experts in the areas of Polish/Jewish relations, as well as historical and contemporary situation of Poland. The group visited Warsaw Rising Museum, POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews and took a tour of Warsaw Jewish sites. The study trip continued further to Lublin, the Majdanek Memorial and Museum and Zamość, where participants met with the School of Dialogue students. On Friday, July 22, Facing History and Ourselves educators held a Shabbat dinner in Szczebrzeszyn with Leaders of Dialogue and Alumni of the School of Dialogue. They sang, bonded, and welcomed the Sabbath together in what many participants called the highlight of the trip. The next day, the group went on a tour Szczebrzeszyn, which was followed by several hours of workshops and reflective discussion. On the last day of their trip, the group returned to Warsaw to view the film “800 Jews in Our Town” with Forum educators.
