Dear PJHF Members and Friends,

Our last program about the RIGHTEOUS AMONG THE NATIONS

presented jointly with Congregation Habonim and the Consulate General of the Republic of Poland was a great success. The synagogue was packed and we have received great many e-mails and calls with a very positive feedback. Articles in English and Polish have appeared:

This year’s first program on PRESERVATION OF AUSCHWITZ-BIRKENAU MUSEUM

was also a great success. Co-organized with Beth Sholom Synagogue, the Consulate General of the Republic of Poland and Auschwitz-Birkenau Foundation and attended by the audience of more than 300, it was received extremely well and Dr. Cywiński’s message resonated with the audience. Here are some reports in English and Polish.
