Post-Holocaust Film: Bogdan’s Journey (1946 Kielce pogrom)

March 7, 2017 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm

In 1946 forty Jewish survivors of the Holocaust were murdered by townspeople in Kielce, Poland, after a non-Jewish boy reported having been kidnapped by Jews. Catholic psychologist Bogdan Bialek moved to Kielce in the late 1970s, and was shocked by the toxic atmosphere in the town. He made it his life’s rork to persuade residents to embrace their past and to reconnect the town with Jewish groups around the world.

After the 90-min. film Bogdan Bialek will discuss his work with the audience.
