Galicia Jewish Museum, 18 Dajwór St., 31-052 Kraków Tel ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM FOR THE JEWISH CULTURE FESTIVAL 2021 Galicia Jewish Museum, 18 Dajwór St., 31-052 Kraków Tel. 12 421 68 42, www.galiciajewishmuseum.org FRIDAY, JUNE 25th, 2021 16.00 The Republic of Laughter. Jewish Caricature and Its Creators in Independent Poland Lecture by Dr. Agnieszka Żółkiewska Online event (Zoom), with an online Facebook broadcast PL Free admission Hundreds of satirical drawings from the Jewish press in pre-war Poland have survived until today. For many years, they had entertaining functions for those who loved Jewish humor and satire; however today, they are an important historical source, which can tell us much more about the past than other traditional sources. The author of the first bilingual album which presents satirical drawings and texts from the Jewish press published in Poland from 1919 until 1939, Dr. Agnieszka Żółkiewska, will conduct a lecture on this unique and still largely unknown field of works. This event is organized in cooperation with the Emanuel Ringelblum Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw. 19.00 Kabbalat Shabbat. Progressive Shabbat service The religious service will be led by Cantor Rivka Foremniak (PL) On-site event at the Galicia Jewish Museum, with an online ZOOM broadcast PL, EN, HEB Free admission, registration required: [email protected] Organised by Or Hadasz – The Progressive Jewish Community of Krakow SATURDAY, JUNE 26th, 2021 13.00 In the Footsteps of Jewish Artists of Krakow Guided theme tour by Agnieszka Szafraniec Starting point: Corner of Planty and Mikołajska St. PL Tickets: 10 PLN, space is limited, reservations: [email protected] The Jewish Culture Festival is all about Jewish artists: this is why we would like to invite you on an original guided tour in the footsteps of Jewish artists. During the two hour tour through the streets of Krakow’s Old Town, you will get to know prominent personas related to Krakow, who lived, worked, created, and were inspired by this city. It is impossible to mention them all, therefore let this event be an introduction to further personal research and an encouragement to raise your interest in this topic. This is an original guided tour created by Agnieszka Szafraniec (“Renaissance” Association, The Federation of Associations of Tour Guides in Krakow), a licenced tour guide in Krakow. 17.00 An adventure for absolutely everyone! Meeting with Julia Konieczna and Mary Besemeres Online event (Zoom) with an online Facebook broadcast PL Free admission Julia Konieczna, an illustrator from Warsaw, and Mary Besemeres, a literary scholar from the Australian National University, will talk about the creation of the newly illustrated edition of “The Adventures of Sindbad the Seafarer,” by Bolesław Leśmian, in its first and only translation into English. "The Adventures'' is a strange, wonderful, and completely original version of the story from the 1913 Warsaw based publication, “Tales of 1001 Nights” by Bolesław Leśmian, an outstanding Polish poet of Jewish origin. The challenges that the authors will tell you about include translating a writer deemed 'untranslatable,’ creating images for a world of unlimited imagination, and the magic of a culture in times of sudden change. “Sindbad’s adventures are so entertaining and Leśmian’s voice so unique, that ever since I first read the book in Polish, I’ve wanted to share these adventures with readers of English. Leśmian conjures up such an aura of mystery about the sea and far-off places. That aura captivated me as a child, and still does today. It is beautifully captured by Julia’s illustrations, which are delicate and dreamlike, as well as humorous and highly inventive.” Mary Besemeres, in an interview for Culture.pl 20.00 Theater performance: “True Story” Original project by Anna Rakowska and Andrzej Rozmus On-site event at the Galicia Jewish Museum PL Tickets: 30/40 PLN This is a true story about two people: Rena Kornreich, an orthodox Jewish woman, and Andrzej Garbera, a Lemko. Their mutual feelings united them, but these feelings couldn’t have been fulfilled. They were born in Tylicz. This is where they spent their childhood, grew up, attended school, and fell in love. Because of their different religions, they had to keep their relationship a secret. Then, they were torn apart by the war. They faced difficult choices: what can one do in the face of equivalent values? Can the love of two people be above religious law? Above divisions and prohibitions? Can one reject love and live with this? Is it still love? These are the dilemmas of the characters in the theater performance, “True Story.” The performance depicts the societal reality of Tylicz in southeastern Poland, right before the outbreak of war, when this part of Lesser Poland was inhabited by Poles, Jews, and Lemkos. This was the last time that these three ethnic groups would live together in Tylicz: Jews before the Holocaust and Lemkos before Operation Vistula. Live music is the third “actor” in this performance. The music tells the story of two lovers, bringing back the atmosphere of pre-war Tylicz by recalling motifs from Jewish and Mountaineer melodies that invoke the memories of the characters, and is part of building the overall narrative. Performed by: Anna Rakowska (as Rena Kornreich), Andrzej Rozmus (as Andrzej Garbera), and Jakub Gucik (live music). Duration: 60 minutes SUNDAY, JUNE 27th, 2021 12.00 Preserving Memory Awards Ceremony: Presentation of Diplomas to Poles Protecting Jewish Heritage Online event (Zoom) with an online Facebook broadcast PL, translation into EN Free admission Since the establishment of this unique award on the initiative of Michael H. Traison in 1998, over 270 non-Jewish Poles have been recognized in 23 ceremonies honoring Righteous Poles working to preserve Jewish memory in Poland. This is an effort to recognize the selfless work of dedicated people who are often working alone, on their own initiative, to ensure that Poland’s Jewish heritage will be remembered. Their heroic stories are a testament to their selfless devotion. Organized by: Michael H. Traison Fund for Poland, Galicia Jewish Museum, Embassy of Israel in Warsaw, Emile Karafiol Z”L, Foundation for the Preservation of Jewish Heritage in Poland, Jewish Federation of the Quad Cities, World Jewish Congress 13.00 Kazimierz for Beginners Guided theme tour with Bartosz Wencel Starting point: Galicia Jewish Museum, 18 Dajwór St. PL Tickets: 10 PLN, space is limited, reservations: [email protected] Szeroka Street, Miodowa Street, Plac Nowy – everyone visiting Kazimierz goes to these places and learns the history of the now hip district, which used to be a separate town from Krakow. But is Kazimierz just these places, where Jewish life was once thriving? Were synagogues only located in the area known as the Jewish district? We would like to invite you on a guided tour through the Kazimierz of rabbis, Hassidim, thinkers, journalists, servants, doctors, and athletes. We would like to invite you on a guided tour through the Kazimierz of religious and educational revolutions, the Kazimierz of ordinary and extraordinary inhabitants, and the Kazimierz which goes far beyond the universally known, so-called Jewish Town. 13.30 Helena Rubinstein. The Empress of Beauty from Szeroka Street Lecture by Danielle Spera (Jewish Museum of the City of Vienna) On-site event at the Galicia Jewish Museum, with an online Facebook broadcast EN, translation into PL In 2018, the Jewish Museum of the City of Vienna opened an exhibition devoted to Helena Rubinstein, the creator of one of the largest cosmetic empires in the world. Born in Krakow's district of Kazimierz, she made a worldwide career in cosmetics. Rubinstein was a friend and professional partner of many, like Salvador Dali and Pablo Picasso. Earlier, however, when she was only 16, she fled her home, escaping an arranged marriage. From Szeroka St. in Kazimierz, she managed to reach faraway Australia, and then Paris, London, and New York. The lecture about the exhibition and the unusual story of Helena Rubinstein will be conducted by Danielle Spear, the director of the Jewish Museum of the City of Vienna. This event is organized in cooperation and with the support of the Consulate of Austria in Krakow 14.00 Guided tour through the permanent exhibition “Traces of Memory” On-site event at the Galicia Jewish Museum PL Free admission The permanent exhibition of the Galicia Jewish Museum, “Traces of Memory” (updated in 2016), contains a variety of themes, motifs, and threads related to Polish-Jewish history and heritage. It also depicts many perspectives and an almost infinite range of possible interpretations. We would like to invite you to dive into the concept of this exhibition, to slowly and carefully explore “Traces of Memory,” and to discuss these important, and sometimes very difficult, subjects with us. 15.00 Sweet Home Sweet: A Story of Survival, Memory, and Returns Meeting with the curators of the exhibition dedicated to Richard Ores and his family: Adam Schorin (curator, writer), Monika Bielak (curator and exhibition designer), and Tomasz Strug (curator, Deputy Director of the Galicia Jewish Museum) On-site event at the Galicia Jewish Museum with an online Facebook broadcast PL, translation into EN Free admission In August 2021, a new temporary exhibition will open at the Galicia Jewish Museum: “Sweet Home Sweet: A Story of Survival, Memory, and Returns.” The exhibition will tell the story of Richard Ores, his family, and their relationship to Poland over nearly a century. Richard was born to a Jewish family in the center of Kraków—he was 15 when the war broke out. He survived and spent most of the rest of his life in the United States. Even though he lived there for more than fifty years, he continued to feel deeply connected to Poland and made dozens of trips back to his hometown, often bringing his family with him.

  • Vitalis the Fox: Remarks on the Early Reading Experience of a Future Historian of Antiquity in Poland (1950S–1960S)
    chapter 13 Vitalis the Fox: Remarks on the Early Reading Experience of a Future Historian of Antiquity in Poland (1950s–1960s) Adam Łukaszewicz Ce que l’on voit dans cet écrit Est moins un conte en l’air que la vérité même. Tout est beau dans ce que l’on aime; Tout ce qu’on aime a de l’esprit. charles perrault, Riquet à la houppe (Moralité) ∵ The following random selection from my early readings dealing either directly or indirectly with the ancient world begins with a Romanian novel for young readers Toate pinzele sus! [All sails up!] (1954) by Radu Tudoran (1910–1992). It is a modern version of the story of the Argonauts, retold in a nineteenth- century setting. The friendship between Orestes and Pylades, and a search for a missing friend, which becomes an original motivation for a sea expedition (a distant echo of the Great Greek Colonisation?), can both be found in Tudo- ran’s novel. It also includes an anecdote about the name of Istanbul, allegedly a distortion of the post-ancient Greek phrase is tin polin, “to the city.” (That charming etymology is in my opinion incorrect. Istanbul is a Turkish version of Stanpoli, an abbreviation of Konstantinoupolis.) The Polish prewar novel Ostatni faraon [The last pharaoh] (1929) by ­Jerzy Mariusz Taylor (1887–1941) (the actual family name of a Polish author, ­journalist, and novelist, who was perhaps a descendant of seventeenth-century foreign settlers) contains a degree of knowledge of the ancient world. The idea of a remnant of ancient Egyptian civilisation surviving somewhere in Africa is very attractive.

  • Exhibiting Galicia: Problems of Interpretation and Other Reflections on the Permanent Exhibition at the Galicia Jewish Museum in Kraków
    SCRIPTA JUDAICA CRACOVIENSIA Vol. 18 (2020) pp. 105–126 doi: 10.4467/20843925SJ.20.008.13876 www.ejournals.eu/Scripta-Judaica-Cracoviensia Exhibiting Galicia: Problems of Interpretation and Other Reflections on the Permanent Exhibition at the Galicia Jewish Museum in Kraków Jonathan Webber (Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland) e-mail: [email protected] Keywords: Galicia Jewish Museum in Kraków, museum, exhibition, Holocaust, photography Abstract: The purpose of this article is to offer a critical comment on the permanent exhibition of the Galicia Jewish Museum in Kraków. The exhibition is innovative in museological terms. It is not about the Jewish history of Galicia, nor is it arranged using conventional chronology, nor is it comprehensive. Rather it is divided into five sections, based on a five-part set of ideas, simple ideas intended to help visitors make sense of the complex realities surrounding the present-day situation of the Jewish heritage seventy-five years after the Holocaust. Let me now briefly outline how these five ideas are represented museologically, the five sections in which the exhibition is organized. The opening section directly presents the popular Jewish stereotype that post-Holocaust Poland is nothing but a vast Jewish graveyard. So this section of the exhibition consists entirely of the raw, shocking sight of desolation – for example, photos of ruined synagogues or ruined Jewish cemeteries. The 23 photos on show in this section include the appalling condition of the synagogue in Stary Dzików (a small town near the Ukrainian border) as it looked in the 1990s and of the devastated Jewish cemetery in Czarny Dunajec (a small town near the Slovak border) at that time.
