The annual conference of the International Association of Jewish Genealogy Societies (IAJGS) was to have taken place in Philadelphia, PA — but instead it will be conducted online.
As usual, there is a wide range of speakers.
Both pre-recorded and live streamed sessions will cover the gamut of the 2022 themes including Philadelphia and Western Pennsylvania research. DNA experts will explain the basics, as well as mitochondrial and endogamy analysis in multiple presentations. You can learn how families lived across the world from small towns of America to Germany and the Caribbean. Those who want to document your family history will be able to listen to sessions on writing your family stories and documenting them through multi-media and networking.
There will also be an online Exhibition Hall and an updated Digital Resource Library.
A series of events starting September 1 and continuing until the end of the year will be coordinated as the B’nai B’rith Jewish Heritage in the UK Festival — organised under the international umbrella of the European Days of Jewish Culture (EDJC), whose theme this year is “Renewal.”

Focus of the meeting is:
training and reflection on how to work with this edition’s theme: memory in the field of cultural and heritage activities. How to work on the transmission of memory to different target groups: children, teenagers, adults, Jewish communities, students, researchers, etc; the role of historical memory today; new approaches in working on the transmission of memory, and to reflect on how to use culture as a vehicle for memory and memory as a vehicle for culture. We will also have the opportunity to work with the EDJC organisers and coordinators on the technical and logistical aspects of the festival (communication, reporting, evaluation, etc.).

On December 11-12, the Liberation Route Europe Foundation is organizing a memory project conference titled “When Memory Meets Dialogue – Role of Remembrance Sites and Contemporary Challenges” in Krakow, Poland. This event, in partnership with Oscar Schindler’s Enamel Factory, a branch of the Museum of Krakow, is part of the EU-funded European Days of Jewish Culture (EDJC) 2023, coordinated by the AEPJ.
The conference agenda encompasses sessions focusing on Jewish and WWII heritage. Discussions will revolve around memory transmission and the contemporary significance of remembrance sites. The primary goal is to offer a meaningful platform for idea exchange, nurture cross-cultural understanding, and stimulate international discourse on historical memory and contemporary challenges. As part of the programme, participants can also explore guided tours and historical city walks in Krakow.
