The Festival of Hipolit and Ludwika

Grant for Association of Residents and Friends of the Wawelberg Colony for organizing the Festival

The Festival of Hipolit and Ludwika recalls two great Jewish philanthropists, long forgotten, Hipolit (1843–1901) and Ludwika Wawelberg, Polish patriots who made great contributions to education, scholarship, and social welfare. Volunteers brought together by the Association of Residents and Friends of the Wawelberg Colony have been organizing an outstanding series of events during the last five years, a highlight on Warsaw’s cultural calendar.
