The prewar Jewish community in Wińsko: learning local history from the pages of Rita Steinhardt-Botwinick’s book Wińsko 1933–1946

Grant for The Wińsko for Education Association for preparing the project of enewing the book Wińsko 1933-1946

The 100th anniversary of Rita Steinhardt-Botwinick’s birth was in 2023, and the Wińsko for Education Association decided to celebrate it by renewing a book that until now has been unavailable in local libraries and unknown to most residents. The Association set itself the goal of introducing the prewar fate of the Wińsko Jewish community to current residents, both by making copies of the book available to schools and libraries, and by organizing an accompanying program designed primarily for school-age youth.
