קפה זגלמביה 24-11-2014

On 24 November 2014, new and veteran members of our organization and board members hosted Piotr Jakoweńko, who came without Karolina, who was taken ill. We learnt from his interesting talk about his and his wife's activities for the Zaglembie and more specifically the Będzin Jewry. They involve Będzin's school children in the renovation and conservation activities and carry out tours for the local citizens for them to get familiar with Jewish history. Piotr and Karolina started the project with the urge to learn and know more, but they had no idea where it was going to take them. Here they are now, five years later, busy with the project. They prepared a report about 64 cemeteries in Zaglembie and Upper Silesia. Aleksandra Namysło is helping them with their various activities) Piotr spoke about the house they had rented and restored the walls as well as about the expenses they have regarding that house.
