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.
