SUMMARY:LIJS: Rescuing Jewish Memory in Poland
DESCRIPTION:Before World War II\, there were 3.3 million Jews in Poland--te
 n per cent of the population. By 1945\, ninety percent of Poland’s Jews 
 had been murdered. Few Jews are left in Poland today\, but the work of car
 ing for the memory of their lives\, their culture\, and their stories is b
 eing carried out by non-Jewish Poles. Leora Tec\, creator of The Neshoma P
 roject\, describes them as "Rescuers of Memory."\nIn this three-week class
 \, students will learn about the work of some of the Rescuers of Memory an
 d how they are fighting the erasure of Jewish lives and stories through sc
 holarship\, teaching\, guiding\, museum work\, grassroots activism\, and t
 he arts. We'll discuss what it means to rescue memory and how this “memo
 ry work” fits into the "politics of memory" in Poland. We also will do a
  deep dive into one cultural memory institution in Lublin\, Poland.\nClass
  will meet on Wednesday evenings:\nMarch 8\, 15 and 22 from 8:00-9:15 pm o
 n Zoom\nTuition is $54 and please mail in the registration form. (Scholars
 hips are available)\nCredit Card Payment and Online Registration is Availa

 tructor time to be in touch with course participants.\n\n\n\nLeora Tec is

 zka-Teatr NN in Lublin\, Poland. She was a Wellesley College Stevens Trave
