1000 Years of Jews in Poland: From Sanctuary to Uprising to Renewal | How We Got Here

As the anniversary of the 1943 Warsaw Ghetto Uprising approaches, we take a deeper look at the roots of Jewish life in Poland — and the myths that continue to shape our collective memory.

Polin, the Hebrew word for Poland, was a refuge, a homeland, and a cultural epicenter for Jews across Europe for generations. From the privileges of Kalisz and the Council of Four Lands, through the trauma of war and the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, to today’s complex Polish-Jewish dialogue — this is a story of coexistence, tragedy, and renewal.

Join Jan Darasz and Zachary Mazur, a Historian from the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews for How We Got Here.
