The lawsuit concerns translations of four fragments of historical Yiddish articles published on the community’s website, which were posted on the museum’s website.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Jewish Community of Warsaw is alleging that the Polin Museum of the History of Polish Jews violated its copyright on translations of historical texts.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the museum, the suit demands that IT remove fragments of translations of historical texts from the museum\u2019s website, pay the Warsaw Jewish community $7,500 and issue a written apology.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anna Chipczynska, president of the Jewish Community of Warsaw, asserts that the museum, which opened in 2014 to great fanfare, is overshadowing the activities of communities in presenting historical events to visitors. In a December 2015 interview for Plotkies,<\/span> a\u00a0Polish language magazine for emigres forced out of the country in 1968,\u00a0she said that \u201cthere is a great risk that in the future, focusing on this educational institution as a Polish visiting card to the world \u00a0will lead to the collapse of (Jewish) communities or to an international scandal.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Jakub Wozniak, head of the communications department of the Polin Museum, believes that the activities of the museum do not hamper the activities of Jewish communities. He said the museum supports the communities, for example, with a\u00a0Virtual Shtetl\u00a0website that catalogues the country\u2019s lost Jewish communities and joint initiatives such as the \u201cjoint ticket to Jewish history,\u201d which offers discounts on\u00a0visits to\u00a0exhibitions, a historic synagogue and a Jewish cemetery\u00a0in\u00a0Warsaw. \u201cWe have very good relations and maintain regular contact with representatives of the Jewish community in Poland,\u201d Wozniak told JTA.<\/span><\/p>\n

The lawsuit concerns\u00a0translations by Anna Cialowicz and Aleksandra Geller of four fragments of historical Yiddish articles published on the community\u2019s\u00a0website,\u00a0which were then posted on the\u00a0website\u00a0of the museum.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wozniak told JTA that the community demands the removal from the museum\u2019s website of one article translated by Cialowicz and removal of three films published on the Museum\u2019s YouTube channel that use translations of three articles from the Jewish community\u2019s website.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is not the only lawsuit related to alleged copyright violation by the Polin Museum. On\u00a0Oct. 14\u00a0in District Court in Warsaw, a lawsuit by Cialowicz\u00a0accuses the Polin Museum and Agora SA publisher of using her translations of Yiddish articles and omitting her name in a\u00a0book they published, \u201cWalking in Jewish Warsaw.\u201d The next hearing in that case is scheduled for\u00a0Jan. 24, 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n

In recent years, various organizations have competed to represent the Polish Jewish community and be seen as its representative within the country and abroad.\u00a0For Hanukkah this year, Polish Jewish organizations decided to organize separate events. Chabad Lubavitch, joined by\u00a0the\u00a0Jewish Social-Cultural Association in Poland, or TSK\u017b, and the From the Depths organization is organizing a Hanukkah\u00a0concert\u00a0in the Polin Museum on\u00a0Dec. 29. One day before, Chabad will hold, as it does every year, a Hanukkah candle lighting ceremony in the Polish parliament.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Jewish community is planning to hold\u00a0a\u00a0Hanukkah Ball\u00a0for its members and their families, but has not provided details due to security reasons.<\/span><\/p>\n
