FUTURE OF OUR PAST

There are many Polish-Jewish stories that have not yet been told. Or they are known only to a few – experts who research specific topics. Or they are talked about among memory activists, but they never reach wide circulation and do not become part of common knowledge.

In order to change this and bring to the surface at least some of these stories – such as pre-war kibbutzim operating in many cities and towns in Poland, the stories of Jewish women activists and fighters, or Nobel Prize winners who were unjustly absent from history classes – we are carrying out thanks to the support of the Embassy American in Poland educational project for youth “Future of Our Past”, the aim of which is to jointly take care of the future of our past.

We will organize workshops in the form of Wikipedia edit-a-thons in five Polish cities to expand our knowledge of some of these stories together with young people and invited experts.
