About:
6 Week Learning Series with Paul Forgasz

About the Series:
This course will take the attendees to a journey of 1000-year into the story of Polish Jewry, from its rise as the vibrant heartland of the Jewish world to its devastation in the twentieth century, a story about the rich and often paradoxical relationship between Jews and Poland. Across these centuries, that relationship was never simple. It was marked by protection and vulnerability, coexistence and tension, shared cultural space and painful misunderstanding. Rather than reducing this history to a singular narrative, this course will explore its layered realities and the ways memory, identity, and heritage continue to shape Polish and Jewish life today.
