A Holocaust Survivor from Będzin Returns to Poland

After centuries of often violent anti-Semitism–since long before, during and after World War II–the government of Poland recently opened a new museum honoring the role of Jews in Polish history. That occasion prompted Dasha Rittenberg of New York, a Holocaust survivor from Będzin, to go back to Poland to see if and how much it has changed. Filmmaker Menachem Daum follows Rittenberg's journey to her grandfather's grave site, the dedication ceremony for the new museum, and her meeting with a Polish Catholic bishop.

The Foundation for the Preservation of Jewish Heritage in Poland (FODZ)

Saving Jewish Heritage in Poland One Stone at a Time

The Foundation for the Preservation of Jewish Heritage in Poland (FODZ) was established in 2002 by the Union of Jewish Communities in Poland and the World Jewish Restitution Organization (WJRO). It's primary mission is to protect and commemorate the surviving sites and monuments of Jewish cultural heritage in Poland. The Foundation is active where no Jewish community exists today or where distance from major urban centers or lack of sufficient financial resources makes it difficult for present-day small Jewish communities to provide adequate long term care and maintenance of historic Jewish properties.
