Poles of Memory series of meetings. Strategies for rebuilding the identity of the Jewish Cemetery in Bródno.
Event program
On October 26, 2023, another meeting was held as part of the Poles of Memory series of meetings. Strategies for rebuilding the identity of the Jewish Cemetery in Bródno. The meeting was held in the Reform Synagogue in Warsaw to provide a comfortable and noble place to present and start a discussion about possible plans for the future of the Bródno Jewish Cemetery.
Architect Piotr Michalewicz from the Formy Wspólne collective presented a conceptual design for an archive of tombstones made by him and his collaborators for the Jewish Cemetery in Bródno. After the presentation, an open discussion began. We gathered the best guides specializing in Jewish tours and museum workers to get feedback on our plans to revitalize the cemetery. We received exactly what we expected - a lively discussion and interesting conclusions. The meeting was recorded in order to record the most inspiring thoughts for the needs of FDCŻ and the Jewish Cemetery in Bródno.
