22 July March of Remembrance
This year, the march is dedicated to the memory of Shmuel Zygielbojm, a Bund activist, who made efforts throughout these months to alert the Western public opinion about mass extermination of Jews in occupied Poland. After many months of struggle against the West’s indifference, in act of solidarity with the insurgents of the Warsaw Ghetto, he committed suicide. In the March of Remembrance, we want to bring back the memory about him.

In the footsteps of Jews in the Lublin region. Report from the JHI study trip
From 13-15th June 2022, employees of the Jewish Historical Institute went on a study trip to the Lublin region. We saw an exhibition devoted to the memory of the Jews from Lublin at the “Grodzka Gate – NN Theatre” Centre, the reconstruction of the Wołpa synagogue in Biłgoraj, took a look at the Jewish cemeteries in Chełm and Lublin, and went to the station from which Jews from Zamość were deported. The most important points were visits to the former Majdanek concentration camp and extermination centre, and the former Sobibór and Bełżec extermination camps.
