SUMMARY:The Shtetl: Myth and Reality
DESCRIPTION:In this online lecture — part of a series celebrating YIVO’s  the 101st anniversary — YIVO Visiting Research Historian Samuel Kassow will explore the “real shtetl” and the “imagined shtetl\,” which both formed an integral part of Eastern European Jewish peoplehood. \nIndeed the “shtetl” meant many things to many people. For many Zionists and Jewish leftists\, the shtetl was a pathetic symbol of Jewish backwardness. Others cherished it as a place of real Jewishness\, that fixed point that gave Jews in the diaspora the feeling of being home. The destruction of the Holocaust encouraged this nostalgia for the lost shtetl\, especially as many Jews in the post-war world\, newly comfortable and secure in their new homes\, showed a new interest in their ethnic roots. \nNOTE: The talk will take place at 1 p.m. New York time\, or 7 p.m. CET. \nSamuel Kassow\, Charles H. Northam Professor of History at Trinity College\, holds a PhD from Princeton University and is a Fellow of the American Academy of Jewish Research. From 2006 until 2013\, he was the lead historian for two galleries of the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw\, which opened in 2014. Professor Kassow is the author of Who Will Write Our History? Emanuel Ringelblum and the Secret Ghetto Archive (Indiana University Press\, 2007)\, which received the Orbis Prize of the AAASS; was a finalist for a National Jewish Book Award; and has been translated into eight languages. White Goat Press recently published his translation of Warsaw Testament by Rokhl Auerbach\, which received a National Jewish Book Award. A child of Holocaust survivors\, Professor Kassow was born in a displaced-persons camp in Germany. \nThe lecture is free but registration is requited — click here to register \n

SUMMARY:Heritage and Civil Society: Grassroots Memory Practices and Fragile Legacies
DESCRIPTION:Heritage and Civil Society: Grassroots Memory Practices and Fragile Legacies \nThe conference is an open-format two-day event exploring how heritage can be documented\,\nreimagined\, and cared for in fragile\, forgotten\, or hard-to-access contexts. The program will feature\ngrassroots and independent projects that experiment with oral and family history\, new curatorial models\,\nand digital tools that help reconnect dispersed narratives. \nOne presentation introduces a report that provides the first comprehensive mapping of the non-governmental heritage sector in central and eastern Europe\, estimating around 33\,500 heritage-oriented NGOs\, analyzing their size\, types of heritage activities (tangible\, intangible\, digital)\, organisational forms\, motivations\, and sectoral challenges (funding\, institutional recognition\, generational renewal). \nAnother session  presents the work-in-progress Virtual Belarusian Jewish Museum – a “museum without walls” concept\, exploring new approaches to heritage work in contexts marked by fragmentation\, loss\, and limited institutional infrastructure. The project team will outline the project’s conceptual framework\, which combines digital reconstruction\, public engagement\, and cross-border collaboration to target a heritage landscape largely destroyed during the 20th century\, scattered and inaccessible today.  \nVirtual reconstructions of two Belarus synagogues will also be presented. \nClick here to see the program \nClick here to register — the conference can be attended online

SUMMARY:Painted Prayers exhibition - synagogue murals in Ukrainian Bukovina

The historic buildings are presented against the background of the Jewish history and culture of the region. \nA special highlight is the 3D recreation of the synagogue in Novoselitza\, which was created as part of a documentation project – in cooperation with the architecture institute of the Mainz University of Applied Sciences and the Ukrainian company Skeiron. \nRead more

SUMMARY:Talk in NYC  by Karolina and Piotr Jakowenko
DESCRIPTION:The founders of the Brama Zuckerman Foundation – Karolina and Piotr Jakowenko\, will present the Foundation’s activities. The event will focus on their newest historical project: Ghetto Fighters’ House in Bedzin.   \nThe meeting will be led by Menachem Z. Rosensaft – general counselor of the World Jewish Congress (WJC) and professor – lecturer at the Cornell University Law Department. \nThe event is co-organized by Polish Cultural Institute New York and Hebrew Union College. \nIn 1943\, the current Ghetto Fighters House in Bedzin was the headquarters of the Jewish Combat Organization\, Zionist Youth groups and a center of resistance in the Bedzin ghetto. Thanks to the efforts of Karolina and Peter\, this important site of Jewish memory has become a Living Monument to Jewish resistance and a vibrant educational centre\, with over 10\,000 student visits in 2025 alone.\n \nGeneral knowledge of the Jewish resistance during the Holocaust is usually limited to the history of the uprising in the Warsaw Ghetto. In their research\, the members of the Brama Zukerman foundation focus on other – lesser-known stories of Jewish struggles in the Polish provinces. Their pioneering research explores the themes of various  forms of resistance\, including that led by teenagers\, often young women. Despite their modest means\,  they fought Hitler by building hideouts – bunkers\, organizing escapes\, and helping others escape the ghettos and deportation.\nDuring the meeting\, Karolina and Piotr will speak about the multifaceted importance this remarkable story can have in the modern fight against antisemitism.\nRegistration is required  — Please send an email to: bartek.remisko@instytutpolski.pl to confirm your attendance.
