Since its first meeting in Kibbutz Ma’ale HaHamishah in 2008, the Bi-Annual Poland-Israel Workshop on the History and Culture of Polish Jews has succeeded in creating a vibrant, dynamic and supportive academic community for the next generation of scholars of Polish Jewry.
Through these and related frameworks, including a workshop in Kraków in 2010, one in Sdot-Yam, Israel in 2012, in Wrocław in 2014, and in Warsaw in 2016, doctoral students and recent PhD’s have had the opportunity to present their work, receive critical feedback from other scholars and meet colleagues from other centers.
