The conference was part of a rich series of events commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Bia\u0142ystok Ghetto Uprising, organized by the City of Bia\u0142ystok. The symposium, prepared by the Bia\u0142ystok municipal council and the Sybir Memorial Museum in cooperation with the Faculty of International Relations of the University of Bia\u0142ystok and the Faculty of History of the University of Warsaw, gathered researchers, but also socio-cultural activists who care about commemorating the achievements of the Jews of Bia\u0142ystok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Mayor of Bia\u0142ystok, professor Tadeusz Truskolaski, spoke about the great undertaking of preparing the above-mentioned celebrations in his speech opening the conference: \u2014 We have been working on this for two years, two years of hard work. In 2021, I went to the POLIN Museum to meet Mr. Marian Turski and ask him to act as the Honorary President of the Committee. He participated in the celebrations and spoke eloquently about what was the most important… Our role is, on the one hand, to pay tribute to those who fought. On the other hand, it is a history lesson for the younger generation \u2014 a lesson, that shows where hatred leads \u2014 said the Mayor of Bia\u0142ystok, professor Truskolaski.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The summary of the city’s efforts was presented by Jacek Brzozowski, PhD, Director of the Department of the Mayor of Bia\u0142ystok. He recalled the August celebrations, which gathered distinguished guests, and listed other anniversary events: \u2014 There were 11 exhibitions, 7 concerts or performances, workshops and historical walks. 8 popularization meetings were held and 4 books were published \u2014 said Brzozowski. \u2014 And these are only urban activities, there are also private initiatives and non-governmental organizations \u2014 he emphasized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The speakers included Anna Py\u017cewska from the Scientific Department of the Sybir Memorial Museum, Micha\u0142 Tr\u0119bacz, PhD from the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews, Helena Datner, PhD from the Jewish Historical Institute and Ewa W\u0119grzyn, PhD from the Jagiellonian University. After all the speeches, the audience asked questions, and engaged discussions continued in the wings during breaks. The conference showed that the history of Bia\u0142ystok cannot do without stories about Jews. The subject of the Jews of Bia\u0142ystok is discussed and passed on to next generations, it is and for sure will be for a long time a research subject and discussion, as well as inspiration for many educational and cultural ventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
