FJHP at IAJGS

August 2025:

Friends of Jewish Heritage in Poland was an integral part of the 2025 IAJGS Conference on Jewish Genealogy in Fort Wayne, Indiana USA. Sponsored in part by FJHP, historian Krzysztof Bielawski, staff member of the Foundation for Preservation of Jewish Heritage in Poland, presented two lectures, including one about his new book “The Destruction of Jewish Cemeteries in Poland.”

During our FJHP Birds of a Feather meeting, he met meet informally with descendants interested in supporting or preserving their own ancestral Jewish cemeteries. FJHP President Dan Oren is Program Chair for this year’s conference. Along with Dan, Jeri Ann Karlsberg, Krzysztof Bielawski, and Edward Janes were all happy to share their latest insights fresh from their travels in Poland this summer.
