Anna Augustyniak, scholar of Polish history and Jewish studies, speaks about how the intertwined nature of Polish and Jewish culture and history, and suggests that it is artificial and improper to separate the melange of cultures that constitute Polish culture. Yes, Jews and Poles lived together for centuries, and despite tensions and conflicts, they developed a mixed culture which produced great masterpieces of art and literature. Polish society is so homogenous today that it seems boring at times.

Jewish Community Center JCC Warszawa is a people-oriented initiative serving as an environment for Jews, people of Jewish descent and their non-Jewish spouses and friends, fostering exploration of Jewish and universal values leading to building their personal Jewish narratives.
We offer a safe space for everyone to become and feel a part of the Jewish community in the atmosphere of openness, pluralism and mutual respect. We encourage people to experience and produce modern Jewish culture and we provide experiential Jewish education of highest level, cooperating with top academic figures and educators. JCC Warsaw is a project of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC), the world’s leading Jewish humanitarian assistance organisation, which works to alleviate poverty and strengthen Jewish life in more than 70 countries and in Israel.
JDC has been established in the United States, opening its activity in Europe in 1914 and has been working in Poland (almost uninteruptedly) since 1918.
In Poland JDC Foundation supports local Jewish associations and institutions, organises different cultural and educational projects, which play a major role in the renewal and re-integration of Jewish community after the post-communist transformation.
