WE/YOU Jews of Katowice Festival

Grant for the Katowice Miasto Ogrodów municipal cultural center for preparing the WE/YOU Jews of Katowice Festival

The third edition of the WE/YOU Jews of Katowice Festival, organized by the Katowice Miasto Ogrodów municipal cultural center, focused on the history and literature of the Polish-German borderlands, from the perspective of Ostjuden and Westjuden. Though culturally different, Eastern European and Western European Jews lived together in Katowice before the war. In addition to literary meetings related to the Polish-German borderlands and the Yiddish language, the program included a sound installation by Rafał Kołacki and educational workshops.
