We invited emerging scholars to present their research and gain introduction to the rich holdings and projects of the Jewish Historical Institute. They will be guided by senior scholars, including two keynote speakers: Professor Samuel Kassow and Professor Naomi Seidman.

Presenters will discuss the continuities of Polish Jewish culture before, during, and after the Holocaust in areas like biography, geography, language, politics, gender, secularization and traditionalism, literary and artistic production, legal practices, documentation, memory studies, and Jewish-Christian relations.

The conference will be streamed live and we invite you to join us on Facebook and Youtube.
