Heritage Hour: Safeguarding Jewish heritage in Poland

HomepageHeritage Hour: Safeguarding Jewish heritage in Poland

The discussion surrounds the synagogue in Orla, located near the Polish-Belarusian border. This site has been nominated for this year’s edition of the 7 Most Endangered programme run by Europa Nostra.

What makes the synagogue in Orla unique, and why is its inclusion in the 7ME programme so important? Are there other synagogues that also qualify for this programme? What other places associated with Jewish heritage still need safeguarding, protection and restoration? What is the current social perception of Jewish heritage? The Europa Nostra Heritage Hub in Kraków’s Katarzyna Jagodzińska and John Beauchamp are in the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews to meet:

– Jolanta Gumula – Deputy Director for Programming, POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews
– Piotr Ostrowski – Publisher, Virtual Shtetl online project, POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews
– Piotr Puchta – Director General of the Foundation for Preservation of Jewish Heritage in Poland
– Krzysztof Bielawski – Foundation for Preservation of Jewish Heritage in Poland
