"Among Neighbors" presented in New York City

What a wonderful pleasure it was on October 16, 2025 for Friends of Jewish Heritage in Poland to work with Barbara Kirschenblatt-Gimblett of the American Friends of POLIN Museum of the History of Jews of Poland and Elizabeth Szancer (of both boards) and Gideon Taylor (president of the WJRO and the Claims Conference, and our board) in organizing this New York City showing of a beautifully done and profoundly important award-winning new documentary directed by Yoav Potash and produced by Anita Friedman and Aaron Tartakovsky. If you want to understand the state of Polish-Jewish relations before, during, AND after World War II. you must see this film. It is also must-see to understand the state of Polish Jewish cemeteries and synagogues in the postwar years through today.

We are all deeply grateful to our New York area friends and supporters and to Aaron Tartakovsky for being with us last evening and responding to questions with such sensitivity, candor, and insight. Everyone was deeply affected by the film – the subject, the story, and the artfulness of its telling.
