Last June, the POLIN museum in Warsaw was the site of a wide-ranging conference on Jewish heritage in Europe: Jewish Cultural Heritage — Projects, Methods, Inspirations. There were so many presentations that most were scheduled in parallel sessions, making it hard for some to choose. There was also a large “show and tell” area, a “project village” where activists and organizations displayed their projects.
POLIN has now put full videos of the keynotes and other sessions from this conference online (including a keynote on Jewish Heritage and Social Engagement presented by JHE Coordinator Ruth Ellen Gruber).
Watch them here (or on YouTube): the videos are in English with Polish subtitles.
