Series of lectures "A Dream Come True. Polish Jews and the Founding of the State of Israel"
The year 2018 marks the 70th anniversary of the proclamation of Israel’s independence. On this occasion, POLIN Museum invites you to a series of lectures which will elucidate the process of the State of Israel’s establishment with particular focus on the participation of Polish Jews in this process.
