The history of Jews in Poland, the past and the present of Polish- Jewish relations as well as issues related to Judaism and Jewish tradition were the main topics of the meetings. The participants visited also the Nozyk Synagouge where they could observe the morning prayer. They had the opportunity to listen to such speakers as Maciej Kozlowski- former Poland's  Ambassador to Israel; Mr. Piotr Kowalik- the director of the Museum of the History of Polish Jews Educational Center and Mr. Robert Szuchta- historian, author of the first curriculum for teaching about the Holocaust. Furthermore, they discussed difficult questions in Polish- Jewish dialogue with Michal Bilewicz- the coordinator of the University of Warsaw Center for Research on Prejudice.

 

 

 

 

The whole series of lectures and meetings was the next component, after the weekend session devoted to trainer's skills, of the training cycle for Forum's new group of educators. A day devoted to the theory and practice of leading the Polish- Jewish Youth Meetings and a study visit to the former concentration camp Auschwitz- Birkenau are awaiting them after the summer vacation.
